1893: Thomas A. Edison finishes construction of the first motion picture studio, the Black Maria in West Orange, New Jersey.
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.
1934: Mathematician, philosopher, and crime-fighter Imre Lakatos uses his thesis of the fallibility of mathematics and its 'methodology of proofs and refutations' in its pre-axiomatic stages of development to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
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.
1976: Mathematician Bertram Kostant uses geometric quantization to detect and record the electroquantum afterlife of Werner Heisenberg.
