1936 – Alan Turing submits On Computable Numbers for publication.
Turing’s proof is a proof by Alan Turing, first published in January 1937 with the title “On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem.” It was the second proof (after Church’s theorem) of the conjecture that some purely mathematical yes–no questions can never be answered by computation; more technically, that some decision problems are “undecidable” in the sense that there is no single algorithm that infallibly gives a correct “yes” or “no” answer to each instance of the problem. In Turing’s own words: “…what I shall prove is quite different from the well-known results of Gödel … I shall now show that there is no general method which tells whether a given formula U is provable in K [Principia Mathematica]…” (Undecidable, p. 145).
Turing followed this proof with two others. The second and third both rely on the first. All rely on his development of typewriter-like “computing machines” that obey a simple set of rules and his subsequent development of a “universal computing machine”. 936 – Alan Turing submits On Computable Numbers for publication.

1637 – Pequot War: A combined English and Mohegan force under John Mason attacks a village in Connecticut, massacring approximately 500 Pequots.
The Pequot War was an armed conflict that took place between 1636 and 1638 in New England between the Pequot tribe and an alliance of the colonists from the Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their allies from the Narragansett and Mohegan tribes. The war concluded with the decisive defeat of the Pequot. At the end, about 700 Pequots had been killed or taken into captivity.[1] Hundreds of prisoners were sold into slavery to colonists in Bermuda or the West Indies;[2] other survivors were dispersed as captives to the victorious tribes.
The result was the elimination of the Pequot tribe as a viable polity in Southern New England, and the colonial authorities classified them as extinct. Survivors who remained in the area were absorbed into other local tribes.
