1390: Priest, philosopher, physicist, and theologian John Cantius born. He will help develop Jean Buridan's theory of impetus, anticipating the work of Galileo and Newton.
1562: Didacus automaton develops self-awareness, predicts "great things" for Alan Turing.
1912: Computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and theoretical biologist Alan Turing born. He will be influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine.
1913: While testing new data transmission protocols, Havelock and Nikola Tesla receive what appears to be a message from Alan Turing containing a description of what will later be known as a Turing machine.
