Day in Engineering History Archive - January 4
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
Note: These historical tidbits have been collected from various sources, mostly on the Internet.
As detailed in
this article, there is a lot of
wrong information that is repeated hundreds of times because most websites do not validate with
authoritative sources. On RF Cafe, events with hyperlinks
have been verified. All will eventually be either verified or removed.
Please submit significant
historical events and dates for inclusion in these lists. I will be glad to include your name and
birthday. Please do not submit your death date ;-)
A couple years ago, I began commemorating the birthdays of notable people and events with special
RF Cafe logos. Where available, I like to use images from postage stamps from the country where
the person or event occurred.
1643: Sir Isaac Newton was born. 1809: Blind French educator Louis Braille, inventor of the tactile reading system bearing his name, was born. 1895: Leroy Grumman, founder of Grumman Aircraft, was born. 1940: British Nobel physicist Brian Josephson, who discovered the Josephson effect, was born. 1958: The first man-made object to orbit the earth, the Russian Sputnik I satellite, fell back into the atmosphere and disintegrated after 92 days in space. 1961: Erwin Schrödinger, the famous physicist with the dead cat (maybe), died. 1983: Time Magazine published its 1982 "Man of the Year" edition, having selected the Personal Computer. 1994: The 104th Congress convened as the first entirely under Republican control since the Eisenhower era. 2004: Afghanistan approved a new, democratic, constitution. 2004: NASA's Spirit Rover, the first of two Mars exploratory landers, landed on Mars.
