1860 - Maxwell's theoretical mathematical models predict radio waves.

1871 - Darwin's secondary book is published: "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection; or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for life."
1884 - William Henry Preece coins the phrase "Edison Effect" to explain thermionic emissions in Edison Light Bulbs.

1896 - Marconi receives the first radio patent (British Patent) for a wireless telegraphic system.
1897 - J. J. Thomson inadvertently invents particle theory with the electron to explain thermionic emissions.
1900 - Rutherford & Kapitza begin work to develop liquid helium leading to subsequent isotopes of helium.
1903 - Wright brothers Orville and Wilbur demonstrate controlled flight with an aeroplane. Takes a year before a local newspaper sends a reporter out to prove that the reports are bird sighting coming from drunks on a passing nearby train.
1904 - John Ambrose Fleming creates a vacuum tube (a diode) after identifying light bulbs could detect radio waves: "Eddison Effect"

1925 - Hitlers autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf is published becoming a best seller throughout Germany by 1933.
1927 - Polish radio enthusiasts Kowsky & Frost gravity nullification story appears: Later claimed to be an April Fools Day Joke.
1927 - T. Townsend Browns' Gravitator Patent featuring a dielectric substrate and rotation as a key ingredients to the propulsive scheme.
1929 - Robert J. Van de Graaffs' invents the Van de Graaff generator; remarkably similar concepts can be seen in Townsend Browns Gravitators.
1929 - Wall Street idiots destroy the global economy and plunge the world in to misery. Bankers begin land grab. Millions starve or freeze to death.
1933 - Pulp Fiction magazine features flying tetrahedrons incinerating brown skinned peoples for no apparent reason.

1935 - Van de Graaff Particle Accelerators are invented.
1939 - Germany invades Poland: World War Two begins for Europeans.
1940 - John Randall and Harry Boot invent a cavity magnetron making portable radar possible.
1941 - Japan bombs Pearl Harbor. World War Two becomes global. Even South Americans find themselves at war.
