The King at the time gave a man gold to mold a crown. When the crown was finished it felt lighter than the gold given so the king accused him of stealing gold. Archimedes was sent to measure the density of the crown but he wasn't aloud to melt it so he had to find a new way. He took a bath and noticed that the water rose when he went inside, so he ran butt naked to the king to say "eureka" and that's how we got measurement by water displacement and that's how he got the title "The Streaker"
