||1809: Rudolf Hermann Arndt Kohlrausch born ... physicist. In 1856, with Wilhelm Weber (1804–1891), he demonstrated that the ratio of electrostatic to electromagnetic units produced a number that matched the value of the then known speed of light. This finding was instrumental towards Maxwell's conjecture that light is an electromagnetic wave. Pic.

||1835: Cesare Lombroso born ... criminologist and physician, founded the Italian school of criminology. Using concepts drawn from physiognomy, degeneration theory, psychiatry and Social Darwinism, Lombroso's theory of anthropological criminology essentially stated that criminality was inherited, and that someone "born criminal" could be identified by physical (congenital) defects, which confirmed a criminal as savage or atavistic. Pic.


||1847: Academic and inventor Warren Seymour Johnson (b. November 6, 1847) born.  His multi-zone pneumatic control system solved the problem. Johnson’s system for temperature regulation was adopted worldwide for office buildings, schools, hospitals, and hotels – essentially any large building with multiple rooms that required temperature regulation. Pic.
