1663: Otto von Guericke completes his book Ottonis de Guericke Experimenta Nova (ut vocantur) Magdeburgica de Vacuo Spatio.
1760: Mathematician and crime-fighter Daniel Bernoulli publishes new theory of probability and statistics which quickly finds applications in the detection and prevention of crimes against mathematical constants.
1761: Mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher Pieter van Musschenbroek born. He will invent the first capacitor in 1746: the Leyden jar.
1878: Adventurer Wallace War-Heels defeats criminal mastermind Baron Zersetzung in single combat.
1879: Physicist, engineer, and academic Albert Einstein born. He will develop the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics).
1882: Mathematician and academic Wacław Sierpiński born. He will make important contributions to set theory (research on the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis), number theory, theory of functions, and topology.
1932: George Eastman dies. He founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream.
1965: Performance artist and crime-fighter Brion Gysin uses hand-held scrying engine to fight crimes against mathematical constants.
1973: Physicist and computer scientist Howard H. Aiken dies. He designed the Harvard Mark I computer.
1974: Mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
