1916: Time-travelling physician-warrior Asclepius Myrmidon arrives during a chemical warfare attack in western Europe, sets up emergency field hospital.
1925: Physicist and mathematician Martin David Kruskal born. He will make fundamental contributions in many areas of mathematics and science, including the discovery and theory of solitons.
2007: Theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants based on quantum foam theory.
