Let us go through what beneath “Eureka” words.

Eureka is an exclamation used as an interjection to celebrate a discovery. It comes from the Ancient Greek Ερηκα/Ηρηκα - Heurēka/Hēurēka meaning approximately

"I have found it".

The history start the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes; he reportedly proclaimed "Eureka!" when he stepped into a bath and noticed that the water level rose . Then, he suddenly understood that the volume of water displaced must be equal to the volume of the part of his body he had submerged. This meant that the volume of irregular objects could be measured with precision, a previously intractable problem. He is said to have been so eager to share his realization that he leapt out of his bathtub and ran through the streets of Syracuse naked.

From the history, the “Eureka”: words has become famous and be use worldwide.

Therefore, if you find out something, shout loudly say, “Eureka”, and share it with everybody but make sure you are not naked. :D
