1831: Engineer and naval architect Samuel Bentham dies. He designed the first Panopticon.
1836: Mathematician and crime-fighter Karl Georg Christian von Staudt publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions based on synthetic geometry to provide a foundation for detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
1860: First known use of Pascal's calculator in time travel experiments.
1912: Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu born. She will conduct the Wu experiment, which will contradict the hypothetical law of conservation of parity.
