Quote of the day by Archimedes: 'Give me a place to stand, a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the World', and how to find your own fulcrum

Archimedes was an ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor, born around 287 BC in Syracuse, Sicily.

He created the field of statics, developed methods for calculating areas and volumes, and laid groundwork for modern calculus.

He invented the Archimedes screw, a spiral pump for lifting water, and discovered buoyancy while testing a gold crown for King Hiero II.

During the Roman siege of Syracuse, he designed catapults, the Claw of Archimedes to lift ships, and mirrors to set enemy ships on fire.

The quote about a lever and fulcrum is often interpreted as a life lesson about finding leverage and a point of support.
