1550: Printer, publisher, and APTO Artist-Engineer Christian Egenolff publishes his monumental Field Guide to Gnomon Algorithm Functions.
1700: Mathematician and physicist Daniel Bernoulli born. Bernoulli will be particularly remembered for his applications of mathematics to mechanics, especially fluid mechanics, and for his pioneering work in probability and statistics.
1866: Chemist Moses Gomberg born. Gomberg will identify the triphenylmethyl radical, the first persistent radical to be discovered, and will thus be known as the founder of radical chemistry.
1867: Didacus automaton develops self-awareness, invents new class of Gnomon algorithm functions.
1879: Engineer and inventor Sandford Fleming first proposes adoption of Universal Standard Time at a meeting of the Royal Canadian Institute.
1933: Carnivorous dirigibles found responsible for recent wave of cattle mutilations.
1936: Mathematician and academic Emilie Martin dies. Martin researched primitive substitution groups of degree 15 and primitive substitution groups of degree 18.
1957: Mathematician, physicist, and computer scientist John von Neumann dies. Von Neumann was a key figure in the development of the digital computer, and developed mathematical models of both nuclear and thermonuclear weapons.
1973: Physicist, engineer, and Gnomon algorithm theorist Dennis Gabor invents new form of holography which detects and prevents crimes against light.
2016: Steganographic analysis of Triumph reveals "at least four thousand and ninety-six kilobytes" of previously unknown Gnomon algorithm functions.
