1774: Anatomist and anatomical wax modeler Anna Morandi Manzolini dies.
1824: Physicist and academic Thomas Johann Seebeck publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use the thermoelectric effect to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1824: Physician, anatomist, and anthropologist Paul Broca born. He will discover that the brains of patients suffering from aphasia contain lesions in a particular part of the cortex, in the left frontal region -- the first anatomical proof of the localization of brain function.
1911: Theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler born. He will link the term "black hole" to objects with gravitational collapse, and coin the terms "quantum foam", "neutron moderator", "wormhole" and "it from bit".
1932: Physicist and explorer Auguste Piccard makes record-breaking hot air balloon flight.
1918: Mathematician and theorist Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn born. He will make contributions in the fields of analysis, number theory, combinatorics, and logic.
2017: Signed first edition of Dennis Paulson of Mars sells for one billion dollars. "This will go a long way towards funding another season," says Paulson.
