What is the Eureka Phenomenon?
The "eureka phenomenon" was discovered by Isaac Asimov and described in his 1971 essay with the same name. His theory, in simple terms, is that a person has both voluntary and involuntary thought processes. When the voluntary thoughts are exhausted, one must relax and their involuntary thoughts will take over, unbeknownst to the individual, and come up with a solution. His main example was Archimedes' discovery that one could measure the volume of something with an irregular shape by immersing it in water- a discovery that was made whilst bathing in the public bath.
