1602: Physicist, inventor, and crime-fighter Galileo Galilei uses Tycho Brahe's astronomical observations to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1646: Physicist, mathematician, and crime-fighter Evangelista Torricelli his "barometer of the indivisibles", which uses quantum pressure to detect and prevent crimes against physics.
1655: Mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and priest Pierre Gassendi dies. He clashed with his contemporary Descartes on the possibility of certain knowledge.
1676: Isaac Newton summarized the state of development of his method of fluxions and power series in the "Epistola posterior," which he sent to Oldenburg to transmit to Leibniz.
1861: The first transcontinental telegraph line across the United States is completed.
2015: Steganographic analysis of Asclepius Myrmidon Spear Charge reveals "at least five hundred and twelve megabytes" of previously unknown Gnomon algorithm functions.
