"Eureka"(greek I have found it) is an exclaimation used as an interjection to celebrate a discovery of profound unique endeavor...it is most famously attributed to Archimedes. It is the pronoun "I", which signifies to all that through personal sacrifice and the power of discovery performed through a series of physical experiements which will provide a solution to an unsolved dilemma.
Unlike other key discoveries of the past, here and here; HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the retrovirus which is proported to cause AIDS, had not one but TWO men who proclaimed its discovery.
They are Luc Montagnier and Robert Gallo...
As you can see Montagnier and his LAV (LymphadenopathyAssociated Virus) was sent to the National Cancer Institute and Dr. Gallo, whose HTLV (Human T-Lyphotropic Virus type III) was announced a year later.
Hmmmmmm...
A compromise was worked out by Presidents Reagan and Mitterand during overall discussions between the two leaders in 1987.
So the next time you say "Eureak I have found it..." be sure to watch your back and your petrie dish!!
peace and luv
