1494: Doctor, astronomer, and crime-fighter Johannes Engel publishes an almanac which uses Gnomon algorithm functions to predict crimes against astronomical constants with unprecedented accuracy.
1890 (or 1892): Electrical engineer Florence Violet McKenzie born. She will be was Australia's first female electrical engineer, founder of the Women's Emergency Signalling Corps (WESC), and lifelong promoter for technical education for women.
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.
1953: Astronomer and cosmologist Edwin Hubble dies. He discovered the fact that the Andromeda "nebula" is actually another island galaxy far outside of our own Milky Way.
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.
