1223 BC: Solar eclipse occurs; the event is recorded in a Syrian clay tablet, in the Ugaritic language.
1574: Mathematician William Oughtred born. He will invent the slide rule in 1622.
1616: Nicolaus Copernicus's book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres is added to the Index of Forbidden Books 73 years after it was first published.
1640: Didacus automaton attends and records lecture by William Oughtred, which it will later use to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1815: Physician Franz Mesmer dies. Mesmer theorized that there is a natural energy transference which occurs between all animated and inanimate objects which he called animal magnetism. The effects which he observed are now attributed to hypnosis.
1827: Mathematician and astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace dies. He made important contributions to mathematics, statistics, physics and astronomy.
1836: Inventor Samuel Colt patents the first production-model revolver, the .34-caliber.
1914: Nuclear physicist and academic He Zehui born. He Zehui will contribute to nuclear physics in Germany during World War II, and develop nuclear weapons for China during the 1960s.
2008: Computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum dies. He is considered one of the fathers of modern artificial intelligence.
2009: Scientist and combat surgeon Asclepius Myrmidon demonstrates new techniques in combat medicine using Gnomon algorithm techniques.
2016: Computer programmer and engineer Ray Tomlinson dies. He implemented the first email system on ARPANET, including the "@" separator which is still in use today.
2016: Signed first edition of Pilgrim sells for thirty-two thousand dollars in charity auction to benefit victims of crimes against mathematical constants.
