1772: Astronomer, philosopher, theologian, and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg dies.
1773: Physicist and academic Laura Bassi uses Gnomon algorithm functions to predict and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1780: Adventurer Jørgen Jørgensen born. He will sail to Iceland, declaring the country independent from Denmark and pronouncing himself its ruler, intending to found a new republic following the United States of America and France.
1872: Mathematician, crime-fighter, and alleged time-traveller Niles Cartouchian uses time crystals (nonfiction) to track down and delete the criminal artificial intelligence Killer Poke.
1873: Mathematician and academic Tullio Levi-Civita born. He will gain fame for his work on absolute differential calculus (tensor calculus) and its applications to the theory of relativity, and make significant contributions in other areas.
1874: Mystic, faith healer, and alleged time-traveller Grigori Rasputin accused of crimes against mathematical constants.
1896: Mathematician Wilhelm Ackermann born. He will discover the Ackermann function, an important example in the theory of computation.
1952: Actor-cryptographer Niles Cartouchian premiers new short film about the Halting problem. Seen by few at first, it will gain fame over time, influencing a generation of mathematical crime-fighters.
1974: NASA's Mariner 10 becomes the first space probe to fly by Mercury.
2016: Steganographic analysis of Stardust unexpectedly reveals "about eight hundred kilobytes" of previously unknown Gnomon algorithm functions.
