1575: Mathematician, astronomer, and crime-fighter Giovanni Antonio Magini promotes the geocentric system of the world, failing to understand the nature of crimes against astronomical constants.
1630: Mathematician and alleged time-traveller René Descartes publishes new theory of mind and reason which anticipates modern Gnomon algorithm techniques for detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
1868: Physicist, mathematician, astronomer, inventor, and writer David Brewster dies.
1900: Mark Twain declines to invest in transdimensional corporation, denounces offer as "a pyramid scheme of Pharaonic proportions."
1845: Engineer and physicist Wilhelm Röntgen dies. He won the first Nobel Prize in Physics, for the discovery of X-rays.
1891: Mathematician and physicist Sofia Kovalevskaya dies. Kovalevskaya made noteworthy contributions to analysis, partial differential equations and mechanics.
1902: Physicist and academic Walter Houser Brattain born. He will share the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 "for research on semiconductors and the discovery of the transistor effect."
1912: Surgeon and scientist Joseph Lister dies. He pioneered antiseptic surgery, performing the first antiseptic surgery in 1865.
1952: Inventor Edward Hugh Hebern dies. He was a pioneer of rotor encryption machines.
1961: Mathematician and APTO field engineer Alexander Andreevich Samarskii discovers a new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use finite difference methods to detect and prevent unlicensed nuclear warfare.
1962: Captured American U2 spy-plane pilot Gary Powers is exchanged for captured Soviet spy Rudolf Abel.
