epicphany

One of those very rare very moments when many ideas finally come together to solve an important long-standing issue.

I so hate having to watch over this domestic model small-reservoired activated carbon water filter, having to return every minute or two to top it off with faucet water while the purified water drips slowly into the pitcher below. Holy Mother Jesus Christ of Nazareth - or I could just let the faucet drip at the same rate that the filter can process water, and come back in 10 minutes... what an epicphany!!

Epiphany drinking 

The consumption of alcohol solely for the purpose of enlightening yourself to new ideas. because booze and drugs open new interneuron connections which never existed before in the human brain. therefore you are capable of acheiving epiphanies during this experiance

Musical Epiphany 

Having a musical epiphany is when you hear a song or band that completely alters or redefines your current music tastes. It will make you rethink nearly every musical decision you've ever made up to this point.

EX: Last night Jon and I went to a Get Back Loretta concert, and when the guitarist starting playing, I had a musical epiphany.

EX: I had a musical epiphany when an old Beastie Boys song came on the radio that I never heard before - changed my life.

epiphany 

An epiphany (from the ancient Greek ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking appearance") is an experience of sudden and striking realization. Generally the term is used to describe scientific breakthrough, religious or philosophical discoveries, but it can apply in any situation in which an enlightening realization allows a problem or situation to be understood from a new and deeper perspective. Epiphanies are studied by psychologists and other scholars, particularly those attempting to study the process of innovation.

Epiphanies are relatively rare occurrences and generally follow a process of significant thought about a problem. Often they are triggered by a new and key piece of information, but importantly, a depth of prior knowledge is required to allow the leap of understanding. Famous epiphanies include Archimedes's discovery of a method to determine the density of an object ("Eureka!") and Isaac Newton's realization that a falling apple and the orbiting moon are both pulled by the same force.

I had an Epiphany.

Radiohead Epiphany 

The stage in a person's life when they realize that Radiohead is quite possibly the best band to have ever existed. For a music enthusiast, it's like going through puberty.

Kid A: Hey man you were serious about Radiohead, they're genius!
Kid B: Looks like someone hit their Radiohead Epiphany.
