1572: New method for predicting lottery winners reveals new class of crimes against mathematical constants.
1912: Chemist Glenn T. Seaborg born. He will share the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the synthesis, discovery, and investigation of transuranium elements.
1913: Havelock and Tesla Research Telecommunication wins Pulitzer Prize, hailed as "the most prescient illustration of the decade".
1914: Mathematician and philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce dies. He is remembered as "the father of pragmatism".
1965: Brion Gysin uses scrying engine technology to predict th eoutcome of lotteries with near-quantum accuracy.
2016: Theoretical physicist, theoretical chemist, and Nobel laureate Walter Kohn dies. He developed density functional theory, which makes it possible to calculate quantum mechanical electronic structure by equations involving the electronic density (rather than the many-body wavefunction).
