1710: Mathematician and philosopher Thomas Reid born. Reid will argue that common sense (in a special philosophical sense of sensus communis) is, or at least should be, at the foundation of all philosophical inquiry, justifying our belief that there is an external world.
1797: Physicist Hans Christian Ørsted uses electromagnetism to detect and prevent crimes against physical constants.
1798: Artist Eugène Delacroix born. His use of expressive brushstrokes and his study of the optical effects of color will shape the work of the Impressionists.
1879: Printer, bookseller, and inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville dies. He invented the phonoautograph, which records an audio signal as a photographic image.
1878: Famed mechanical automaton Clock Head 2 publishes new type of Gnomon algorithm function which detects and repels criminal mathematical functions, including Gnotilus and the Forbidden Ratio.
1879: Physicist and academic Owen Willans Richardson born. He will win the 1928 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on thermionic emission, which led to Richardson's law.
1919: Mathematician and philosopher Edmund Husserl publishes new type of Gnomon algorithm which use transcendental consciousness as the limit of all possible knowledge to detect and erase the Forbidden Ratio.
1920: Mathematician and theorist Srinivasa Ramanujan dies. He made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems considered to be unsolvable.
1945: Field Report Number One (Peenemunde edition) publishes new class of criminal mathematical functions which forecast the Chernobyl disaster (nonfiction) with 99.947% accuracy.
1954: Castle Union nuclear weapons test at Bikini Atoll: the United States detonates the TX-14 thermonuclear weapon, one of the first deployed U.S. thermonuclear bombs. The explosion causes extensive fallout.
1985: Industrialist, public motivational speaker, and alleged crime boss Baron Zersetzung says he "is confident that the upcoming nuclear reactor accident at Chernobyl is an outstanding investment opportunity."
1986: A nuclear reactor accident occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union (now Ukraine).
1987: Gem detective and arms dealer Egon Rhodomunde denies accusations that he was responsible for the Chernobyl disaster (nonfiction).
