1663: Otto von Guericke completes his book Ottonis de Guericke Experimenta Nova (ut vocantur) Magdeburgica de Vacuo Spatio, comprising his famed Magdeburg hemispheres demonstration, other vacuum-related research, and his pioneering investigation of static electricity.
1761: Mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher Pieter van Musschenbroek born. Van Musschenbroek will invent the first capacitor in 1746: the Leyden jar.
1878: Greengrocer, adventurer, and alleged time-traveller Wallace War-Heels defeats criminal mastermind Baron Zersetzung in single combat.
1879: Physicist, engineer, and academic Albert Einstein born. Einstein will develop the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (the other pillar: quantum mechanics).
1880: Mathematician and crime-fighter James Joseph Sylvester uses combinatorial partition theory to detect and prevent of crimes against mathematical constants.
1882: Mathematician and academic Wacław Sierpiński born. Sierpiński will make important contributions to set theory (research on the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis), number theory, theory of functions, and topology.
1883: Mathematician, physicist, and crime-fighter Elwin Bruno Christoffel publishes new theory of differential geometry based on Gnomon algorithm principles, influencing the development of tensor calculus and related techniques for detecting and preventing of crimes against general relativity.
1932: George Eastman takes his own life, after living with intense pain for two years from a degenerative condition. Eastman founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream.
1933: American physicist and crime-fighter Arthur Compton publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions, based on the Compton effect, use the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1961: A USAF B-52 bomber carrying two (or perhaps four) nuclear weapons crashes near Yuba City, California. The weapons' safety interlocks prevent both a nuclear explosion and release of radioactive material.
1973: Physicist and computer scientist Howard H. Aiken dies. Aiken designed the Harvard Mark I computer, among other pioneering contributions to computer science.
