1893: Famed gem detective and diplomat Niles Cartouchian foils villains, returns stolen relics, brokers peace accord.
1894: Mathematician and academic Aleksandr Khinchin born. He will become one of the founders of modern probability theory.
1982: Physicist Hugh Everett III dies. He proposed the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum physics.
1984: New type of Lorenz system displays artificial intelligence, forecasts crimes against mathematical constants up to ten megabytes per fluid minute in advance.
