532: The Nika riots fail in Constantinople. Nearly half the city is burned or otherwise destroyed, and tens of thousands of people are dead.
1492: Artist, inventor, and crime-fighter Leonardo da Vinci uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1825: Chemist Edward Frankland born. He will be one of the originators of organometallic chemistry, introducing the concept of combining power or valence.
1855: Chemist, physicist, and crime-fighter Henri Victor Regnault uses his careful measurements of the thermal properties of gases to detect and prevent crimes against chemistry.
1873: Mathematician, engineer, cartographer, economist, and politician Charles Dupin dies. In 1826 created the earliest known choropleth map.
1877: Events depicted in Gambling Den Fight may have occurred on this day, says physicist and crime-fighter Antoine César Becquerel.
1878: Physicist and academic Antoine César Becquerel dies. He pioneered the study of electric and luminescent phenomena.
1908: Mathematician, historian of science, theatre author, poet, and inventor Jacob Bronowski born.
1923: First use of crossword puzzles powered by Gnomon algorithm functions to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1937: Enrico Fermi invents new class of Gnomon algorithms which reverse effects of certain crimes against mathematical constants.
