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.
