The Diameter Of The Earth Is Greater

Those Who Claim To Discover Everything But Produce No Proofs Of The Same May Be Confuted As Having Actually Pretended To Discover The Impossible.

I Am Persuaded That This Method [for Calculating The Volume Of A Sphere] Will Be Of No Little Service To Mathematics. For I Foresee That Once It Is Understood And Established, It Will Be Used To Discover Other Theorems Which Have Not Yet Occurred To Me, By Other Mathematicians, Now Living Or Yet Unborn.

Equal Weights At Equal Distances Are In Equilibrium And Equal Weights At Unequal Distances Are Not In Equilibrium But Incline Towards The Weight Which Is At The Greater Distance.

How Many Theorems In Geometry Which Have Seemed At First Impracticable Are In Time Successfully Worked Out!

Eureka! Eureka! Supposed To Have Been His Cry, Jumping Naked From His Bath And Running In The Streets, Excited By A Discovery About Water Displacement To Solve A Problem About The Purity Of A Gold Crown.
