1462: Polymath Johannes Trithemius born. He will be remembered as a lexicographer, chronicler, cryptographer, and occultist.
1674: Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus uses Gnomon algorithm to detect and counteract crimes against mathematical constants.
1842: Poet and wizard Jan Kochanowski adapts Nebra sky disk for use as scrying engine.
1903: Physicist and mathematician Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet dies. He made seminal contributions to fluid dynamics (including the Navier–Stokes equations) and to physical optics.
1944: Pultizer Prize awarded to Field Report Number One (Peenemunde edition).
1976: Physicist and academic Werner Heisenberg dies. He introduced the uncertainty principle -- in quantum mechanics, any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle can be known.
