1823: Havelock announces plan to collaborate with David Rittenhouse and Lord Kelvin on building an orrery which models the heat death of the universe.
1824: Lord Kelvin born. He will do much to unify the emerging discipline of physics in its modern form.
1850: Mathematician and crime-fighter Carl Wilhelm Borchardt publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which use arithmetic-geometric mean theory to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
