1610: Galileo Galilei makes his first observation of the four Galilean moons: Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa, although he is not able to distinguish the last two until the following day.
1732: Physicist and academic Laura Bassi publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which convert Newtonian principles into an early version of quantum mechanics.
1827: Engineer and inventor Sandford Fleming born. He will propose worldwide standard time zones.
1834: Electrical engineer Zénobe Gramme computes simple Gnomon algorithm functions which accurately simulate the electrical motors he will build later in life.
1834: Scientist and inventor Johann Philipp Reis born. He will invent the Reis Telephone.
1835: Ada Lovelace writes unit tests for Gnomon algorithm functions.
1881: Geologist and crime-fighter Sekiya Seikei uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to model the motion of an earth-particle during an earthquake, exposes criminal organization committing earthquakes for profit.
1882: Pharmacist, inventor, and industrialist Ignacy Łukasiewicz born. He built the world's first oil refinery and invented the kerosene lamp.
1933: Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu uses Gnomon algorithm functions to forecast outcomes for the Manhattan Project.
1943: Electrical engineer Nikola Tesla dies. He made pioneering contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
2016: Cantor Parabola and Gnotilus at Athens used to convict supervillain Gnotilus in absentio.
