:22:01
he has received
is actually solid gold.
:22:04
Unsolved problem at the time.
:22:07
It tortures the great Greek
mathematician for weeks.
:22:10
Insomnia haunts him and he
twists and turns in his bed
:22:14
for nights on end. Finally,
his equally exhausted wife,
:22:19
forced to share a bed
with this genius,
:22:22
convinces him
to take a bath, to relax.
:22:27
While he's entering the tub,
he notices the bath water rise.
:22:33
Displacement -
a way to determine volume,
:22:38
and thus a way
to determine density.
:22:42
Weight over volume. And thus
Archimedes solves the problem.
:22:48
He screams "Eureka!"
and he is so overwhelmed,
:22:51
he runs naked through the
streets to the king's palace
:22:54
to report his discovery.
:22:58
Now, what is the moral
of the story?
:23:04
That a breakthrough will come.
:23:06
Wrong! The point of the story
is the wife.
:23:11
Listen to your wife,
she'll give you perspective.
:23:13
Meaning, you need a break.
:23:15
You must take a bath
or you'll get nowhere.
:23:19
There will be no order,
only chaos.
:23:24
Go home, Max,
and you take a bath.
