expressions - How can I best describe "making a new discovery"?


The context I am referring to is when someone, for instance, comes into contact with something, a subject ( mathematics, archeology or computer science, just to name a few), a religion or a sport, and discovers that he/she has found a new passion, something he/she didn't know before or didn't think it could be so fascinating. Is there an expression or an idiom to describe this ?



Answer



You could describe the event of discovering something as:



  • the eureka moment
    Definition: (idiomatic) The moment of a sudden unexpected discovery.


The first eureka moment
