In the king’s court, Archimedes was a well-respected figure. On many occasions, the king used to depend upon the scientific acumen of Archimedes to find out the answers to seemingly impossible challenges. No wonder, whenever Archimedes proclaimed something, howsoever audacious it may sound, people knew that Archimedes would surely find ways to prove it, hence, learned to listen to him with due respect. One day, in front of many people, Archimedes claimed that he could move the earth. Now, this was more than yet another audacious proclamation from Archimedes. It was too far-fetched even for Archimedes’s standard. People knew for sure that this is something beyond even the great Archimedes. However, such was the reputation of Archimedes that no one could challenge him on his face. Nevertheless, it became the news of the town spread in hushed voices. Eventually, the murmur reached the king’s ear. Even the king was surprised and somewhat annoyed.
