Who was the Greek scientist who discovered the lever?
Archimedes
Alternate Answer:
The principle of the lever might be stated as; 'Give me a firm place to stand and I shall move the world.'
This is the principle behind the lever, but it is also basic to every electric motor that exists, every gas engine that exists, every diesel engine that exists, every engine that exists and every rocket motor or jet engine that exists. It is far, far more important than 'the lever'. His principle did move the world into the Industrial and Rocket Ages and gave us electricity.

In Greek mythology how do Psyche's sisters create doubts about her future husband?
Psyche's sisters create doubts about Psyche's husband by telling her that they knew that he was a fearful serpent, and though he seemed kind, he was going to eat her someday. This ignites fear in Psyche, as "there must be something very wrong for him so to shun the light of day".
After Pysche told them about the nights visits, they were envious and replied that it was dark and she couldn't see who it was. They said it was most likely a terrible flying serpent in disguise and not a winged prince.
