Archimedes.

So the story goes. He was in the bath one day, and the water did not flood over the edge of the bath. However, on another day the bath was full to the brim. He gets in and notices the water splash out. That's where the water went. He run's down the street shouting 'Eureka, I have found it!!!!'

So today we have the Archimedean Principle ; 'The weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced'. I learnt that at school at the age of 11 years.

Archimedes also gave us the 'Archimedean Screw' for lifting water, and polished brass shields, against the Sun, to Blind the Enemy.
