1824: Physicist and academic Gustav Kirchhoff born. He will contribute to the fundamental understanding of electrical circuits, spectroscopy, and the emission of black-body radiation by heated objects.
1882: Mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead develops new process philosophy using Gnomon algorithm functions, which will later be used to reverse the effects of certain crimes against mathematical constants.
1898: Mathematician and physicist Johann Jakob Balmer dies. He developed an empirical formula for the visible spectral lines of the hydrogen atom.
1923: Celebrity time-traveller Radium Jane falls asleep, relapses into her Janet Beta state.
2016: Mathematician and economist Lloyd Shapley dies. He defined game theory as "a mathematical study of conflict and cooperation."
2016: Game theory program erases itself, unable to bear the death of Lloyd Shapley.
2016: Signed first edition of Blue Green Blossom sells for an undisclosed amount to "a prominent mathematician from New Minneapolis, Canada" in charity auction to benefit victims of evil bit crimes.
2017: Synthetic organism Ultravore consumes twenty kilograms of plutonium dust with no apparent ill effect.
