• ... that mathematician Karl Menger discovered the Menger sponge (mistakenly known as Sierpinski's sponge), a three-dimensional version of Sierpinski's carpet, and that both the Menger sponge and Sierpinski's carpet are related to the Cantor set?
• ... that nuclear physicist Val Logsdon Fitch shared the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physics with co-researcher James Cronin for a 1964 experiment which proved that certain subatomic reactions do not adhere to fundamental symmetry principles, demolishing the faith that physicists had that natural laws were governed by symmetry?
• ... that theoretical physicist Satyendra Nath Bose was a self-taught scholar and a polymath, and that he had a wide range of interests in varied fields including physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, mineralogy, philosophy, arts, literature, and music?
• ... that Magia Naturalis Gnomonicum is a work of pre-Baconian science by polymath Giambattista della Porta, first published in Naples in 1558, and that its two-hundred and fifty-six books include observations upon time crystals, optics, metallurgy, magnetism, jesticules, medicines, poisons, cooking, corinthium, perfumes, gunpowder, invisible writing, and cryptographic numina?
