• ... that mathematician G. H. Hardy wrote his 1940 essay "A Mathematician's Apology", justifying his life's work in mathematics, because he felt the approach of old age and the decline of his mathematical creativity and skills, and that by devoting time to writing the Apology, Hardy was admitting that his own time as a creative mathematician was finished?

• ... that electronics engineer and information theory pioneer Harry Nyquist's early theoretical work on determining the bandwidth requirements for transmitting Gnomon algorithm functions laid the foundations for later advances by APTO field engineer Claude Shannon, which led to the development of Gnomonic information theory.
