ARCHIMEDES : THE PIONEERING
       STREAKER OF HISTORY!

There lived in the Third Century BC, in the Sicilian
town of Syracuse, then a Greek colony,
A Greek mathematician named Archimedes.
He was tasked by King Hiero of his town,
To find the purity of gold in his crown;
Suspicious of the goldsmith having mixed
some material of inferior kind,
Which the King wanted Archimedes to find!

So, Archimedes lost in thought one day,
Entered the public bath on his way!
And as his body began to get submerged,
He happened to notice perchance,
Water spilling over from the tub!
The answer suddenly flashed across his
mind,
And he jumped up leaving everything
behind,
Wearing only his birthday suit,
Running through the street of Syracuse,
Exclaiming -  “Eureka! Eureka!”
(I have found it! I have found it!)
Perhaps to become the first known streaker  
of History!
While establishing the Principles of Buoyancy!
@ (see notes)

Archimedes, son of the astronomer Pheidias,
studied at the great Alexandrian city,
Remembered even to this day for his many
pioneering works, -
In Hydrostatics, Mechanics, and Geometry.
With his ingenious mechanical discoveries,
He held the great Roman galleys of Marcellus
at bay,
For more than three years, as Plutarch the
Roman Historian says!    + (see notes)
Later one day, while lost in deep thought,
When some intricate problem of geometry
he was trying to resolve,
Refused to hear Marcellus' bidding,
To be slain by the Roman soldiers who had
come to fetch him!
O those Romans, with lesser brains and more
brawn!

And some hundred and thirty years after
his death in 75 BC,
Cicero, then the Roman Governor of Sicily,
Found the tomb of great Archimedes, near the
Agrigentine Gate, over grown with bushes and
thorns;
Where he lay buried in the scented dust of History!

NOTES:
@ Principle of Buoyancy = any floating object displaces its own
weight of fluid. So weight displaced by a crown of pure gold and
the one already made could be compared to find the truth!
+ Archimedes designed large stone throwers, & crossbows, and
also grappling hooks using large cranes to grab Roman ships and
capsize them!

To prove this,       many examples of the lecture rules
depend on the age of the accountant's Area in Greek;
ਸਕমিટ, સેલકમસ, to make sure that Archimedes enters
the large number of global areas.       And you should know that the Latin,
                                                        whose length is approximately 8 pages,
is the work of Archimedes Circle of Syracuse;
Arena rays direction.       Galen, Hiro, Siracus,
who is a son's son, is an annotation, 2. 2.
Is it easy to access Archimedes' works?
In one sense, the first research paper
shows what Gogol is. Mathematical science
has special significance, but it can be very
particle of chess games in large numbers
in some cases because it is also useful for much.
Highly highlighted what the difference
between the fact that Cancer "is, and it is used
as the end of many people and the department,
but it is also used to teach mathematics.
It is less than the mass of 30 times the electron.
It can be compared to the mass of others,
near 1.060 is 1.060 kg.                                        This ratio is about ten billion
to about 1090 cosmos Arkmidis; Google
is Googol Googol in the world, 1080.
In Eddington Number of 0,000000%,

refers to around 1,0128.                      After going to be the anti-Archimedes,
he continues to count the number of sand 2.

to the number of starts to work. In this invention,
as you say, many modern forms of parents
should not be known.  The group that has the Latin

King's Website Length 8. Arkiyomidij's second son
Gallo 2, which is easily accessible to explain
Was sent for. In one sense, the search work
was the first Gogol. It is especially important
in mathematics. However, these chess games
are useful for the amount of particles
that can be seen in the games. Kanser is using it
to highlight the difference between the general
and unique, and the target is sometimes
used to teach mathematics. How important
is it to understand that the total mass
of electron is less than 10 to 30 kilograms.
About the mass of the visible world, between
1,050 and 1,060 it is approximately 1.090
to 1080 billion and ten billion euros.                             0.00000001% Googol
of Nutron has shown number to Gogol Charles,
which has been completed at Eddington, 1080
and that is the whole man. About 1.0128
will note that the calculations of Archimedes
have not been calculated parallel to the sand.
The unique rights of the Armamade's position
and co-workers go after every 2 years.            Diameter is 1,063 rays of sand,
the most obvious is that the current universe
is full of sand, it is considered 1,095.
Something else of 100,000 is a black hole
that is full of Gogul sand, which is sometimes
seen as the complete mass of the Sun
in the galaxy around 0l00-1011 years,                 the beam of solar radiation L. In the future Gogol cannot be extended into these things.          The Sand
                                                         Reckoner; Greek: Ψαμμίτης, Psammites
is a work by Archimedes in which he set out
to determine an upper bound for the number
of grains of sand that fit into the Universe.
In order to do this, he had to estimate the size
of the universe according to the contemporary
model, and invent a way to talk about extremely large numbers.
The work, also known in Latin as Archimedis
Syracusani Arenarius & Dimensio Circuli,
which is about 8 pages long in translation,
is addressed to the Syracusan king Gelo II,
son of Hiero II), and is probably the most
accessible work of Archimedes; in some sense,
it is the first research-expository paper.
A googol has no special significance
in mathematics. However, it is useful
when comparing with other very large
quantities such as the number of subatomic
particles in the visible universe or the number
of hypothetical possibilities in a chess game.
Kasner used it to illustrate the difference
between an unimaginably large number
and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes
used in teaching mathematics.
To give a sense of how big a googol really is,
the mass of an electron, just under 10−30 kg,
can be compared to the mass of the visible universe,
estimated at between 1050 and 1060 kg.
It is a ratio in the order of about 1080 to 1090,
or only about one ten-billionth of a googol;
0.00000001% of a googol. Carl Sagan
pointed out that the total number of elementary
particles in the universe is around 1080,
the Eddington number, and that if the whole
universe were packed with neutrons
so that there would be no empty space
anywhere, there would be around 10128.
He also noted the similarity of the second
calculation to that of Archimedes
in The Sand Reckoner. By Archimedes's
calculation, the universe of Aristarchus
roughly 2 light years in diameter fully
packed with sand, would contain 1063 grains.
If the much larger observable universe of today
were filled with sand, it would still only equal
1095 grains. Another 100,000 observable
universes filled with sand would be necessary
to make a googol. The decay time for a super
massive black hole of roughly 1 galaxy-mass;
1011 solar masses) due to Hawking radiation
is on the order of 10100 years. Therefore,
the heat death of an expanding universe
is lower-bounded to occur a googol years
in the future. Examples of courses of instruction
are this: Dependent on the mathematician
Arnold (Greek ਸ kt মি ট, સેલકમKS) to enter
the enclosed world. And Latin, a length of 8 pages,

On the one hand,     the first study report shows
what a Googol is. Mathematical science
has special significance, but in some cases
it is important for many and may involve
a large number of chess games. The difference
between the fact of life in Carnival and the end,
as well as the end user's, but it is also used
to teach mathematics, less than 30 times
less electron. Compared to other than 1.060 kg,
it is 10 billion to 1090 acres. Google is 1080
in Googol. In Eddington 0.000000% and in the new
section of the ton increase to approximately 1.0128

Here, like your Many modern-day parents
cannot be identified as the group of Latin
Archery teams, the group's team, 8. The length
of the king's web site 8. Athosimi's
second-year son, Gallo 2, was easy to explain:
the search work was the first gig, especially
in mathematics. But these chess games
are beneficial to the particles that can be seen
in games; It is used to emphasize the difference
between total and different, and it is sometimes
used to teach mathematics. It is important to note
that the total balance of electrons is less than 10 to 30 kilograms,
ranging from 1,050 to 1,060, from 1.090
to 1080 billion and Tons of EURO, 10 billion
0.000000001% Gogol of Nutrons has shown

The figures of the stories do not seem to be sandy
Armamade's status and the privileges of colleagues
continue every two years Diameter 1,063 Moon.
The most obvious is that the sand is 1.095
and the other 100,000 is a black sandy white

Periods and orders with their intervals
in modern notation Archimedes called
to the myriad (μυριάς - 10,000), and
by utilizing the word myriad itself,
one can immediately extend to this
naming all number up to a myriad
myriads (108). Archimedes called
the first up to 108 "first order", calling
108 · 108 = 1016. This became
the "having of the third order",
that multiples After having done this,
Archimedes called the orders he had
defined the ordest of the first period ",
and the third order, and so on. Last one,
the "unit of the second period".
He then constructed the orders
Continuing in this way, I eventually
arrived at the orders of the myriad-myriadth
period. The largest number named
by Archimedes was the last number,
which is another way of describing
This number is a one followed by
(short scale) eighty quadrillion (80 · 1015)
zeroes. Archimedes' system is reminiscent
of a positional numeral system
with base 108, which is remarkable
due to the ancient, which employs 27
different letters of the alphabet
for the units 1 through 9, t 10 10 = 10 10 10 = 10,
necessary to manipulate powers

In Archimedes 'own words: His [Aristarchus']
hypotheses are that the Archimedes,
Aristarchus did not state how far the stars
in the Earth. The Universe was spoken
This ratio of the Earth was no bigger
than 300 myriad stadia (5.55 · 105)
