| File:Max Planck 1878.gif|link=Max Planck (nonfiction)|1947: Physicist and academic [[Max Planck (nonfiction)|Max Planck]] dies. He made many contributions to theoretical physics, and earned fame as the originator of quantum theory. His is an interesting life story ... First World War, nuclear research, Second World War ... his son Emil died in one of the conspiracies to bomb Hitler in 1944. I see a drama around the mathematicians and scientists in 1920s-30s-wartime Germany ... Einstein and the rest ... there's a story about a scientist dissolving a Nobel medal in acid, the actual gold medal, to keep the Nazism from taking it ... after the war, the gold was recovered from the acid, and the medal restored.

| File:Noel_Harrison_1972.jpg|link=The Noel Harrison Sensation|[[The Noel Harrison Sensation]] (or simply "The Sensation") is a transdimensional corporation which Noel Harrison uses to project his sensorium. Harrison usually manifests The Sensation as a movie poster, although he occasionally manifests as a life-size cardboard figure. Careful placement of The Sensation in space and time allows Harrison to privately experience gala openings of his films, his own theater performances, and other film- and theater-related events, without drawing undue attention to himself.
