| Jul 29, 2014 at 16:17 | comment | added | oerkelens | I think that most people will not apply epiphany to finding something physical, but rather to understanding something suddenly, or seeing something (a truth?) suddenly. Etymologically, it is something that appears to you, but usually not something actually physical. As for using eureka, that was originally about such a mental revelation, but it actually simply means you found something, whether that is a law of physics, or your lost car-keys. That said, I think Ronan's answer is a good shot :) | |
