1521: Polymath Gerolamo Cardano uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to prevent Gnotilus from secreting geometry solvent.
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.
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.
1933: Carnivorous dirigibles break their tethers, eat over two hundred head of cattle.
1997: Computer scientist and mathematician Donald Knuth invents new type of scrying engine.
2001: John Ambrose Fleming uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to counteract effects of geometry solvent.
2017: Advances in zero-knowledge proof theory "are central to the problem of mathematical reliability," says mathematician and crime-fighter Alice Beta.
