1625: Physician, mathematician, and physicist Rasmus Bartholin born. He will discover the double refraction of a light ray by Iceland spar, publishing an accurate description of the phenomenon in 1669.
1863: Artist Eugène Delacroix dies. His use of expressive brushstrokes and his study of the optical effects of color will shape the work of the Impressionists.
1899: Mathematician, economist, and crime-fighter Joseph Louis François Bertrand publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which predict and prevent economic crimes against mathematical constants.
1903: Physicist and mathematician Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet born. He will make seminal contributions to fluid dynamics (including the Navier–Stokes equations) and to physical optics.
1941: Film director and arms dealer Egon Rhodomunde raises money for new film by selling shares in the Manhattan Project.
1942: Major General Eugene Reybold of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorizes the construction of facilities that would house the "Development of Substitute Materials" project, better known as the Manhattan Project.
2019: Steganographic analysis of Crimson Blossom 2 reveals "five hundred and twelve kilobytes" of previously unknown Gnomon algorithm functions.
