1521: Polymath Gerolamo Cardano uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to prevent Gnotilus from secreting geometry solvent.
1612: Galileo became the first person to observe the planet Neptune, although he mistakenly catalogued it as a fixed star.
1663: Mathematician and physicist Francesco Maria Grimaldi dies. Working with Riccioli, he investigated the free fall of objects, confirming that the distance of fall was proportional to the square of the time taken.
1881: Mathematician and crime-fighter Leopold Kronecker publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions to fight crimes against mathematical constants.
1882: Astronomer, physicist, and mathematician Arthur Eddington born. He will become famous for his work concerning the theory of relativity.
1895: Wilhelm Röntgen publishes a paper detailing his discovery of a new type of radiation, which later will be known as x-rays.
1902: Physicist and crime-fighter John Ambrose Fleming uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to counteract effects of geometry solvent.
1903: Mathematician, physicist, and computer scientist John von Neumann born. He will be a key figure in the development of the digital computer, and develop mathematical models of both nuclear and thermonuclear weapons.
1918: Mathematician and crime-fighter Tullio Levi-Civita uses absolute differential calculus (tensor calculus) to detect and prevent the theory of relativity.
1933: Carnivorous dirigibles break their tethers, eat over two hundred head of cattle.
