1.   1. Mark Twain was born on November 30, 1835,exactly two weeks after Halley’s Comet reached its perihelion. During his laterlife, he went through a period of depression due to deaths of his daughter,wife, son, and a close friend. In 1906, he began writing his autobiography inthe North American Review in which he wrote, “I came in with Halley’s Comet in1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will bethe greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet.”As he predicted, he died of a heart attack on April 21, 1909, the day after thecomet returned.

2.       2. When Vernewrote the book, his publisher, Pierre-Jules Hetzel, refused to release it as hefelt it was too unbelievable. For 126 years, the manuscript was supposedlylocked up in an empty safe and rediscovered by Verne’s great-grandson in 1989.Often referred to as his “lost novel,” the book explores the life of a youngman who struggles to survive in 1960s Paris. It presents a dystopian view oftechnological advances and a philistine future civilization which only valuesbusiness and technology.

3.      3.  TheNarrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket was EdgarAllen Poe’s only complete novel and tells the story of a young man who stowsaway on a whaling ship called Grampus. On May 5, 1974,author and journalist Arthur Koestler published a letter from one of hisreaders, Nigel Parker, relating an astounding similarity between Poe’s noveland an actual event that happened decades ago. In 1884, the yacht Mignonette sank, andfour men were cast adrift. After going weeks without food, they decided tosacrifice the youngest, a cabin boy named Richard Parker who fell into a comaand use him as food just like in Poe’s novel.

4.       4. Towards theend of 19th century, Nikola Tesla proposed a telecommunications and electricalpower delivery system that could allow “the transmission of electricenergy without wires” on a global scale.

5.       5. Abraham deMoivre is well-known for the de Moivre’s formula which links complex numbersand trigonometry, and for his work on normal distribution and probability theory.Though he was successful as a mathematician, he was unable to get anappointment as a chair of mathematics, a position that could have alleviatedhis financial situation. Despite that, he continued to study probability andmathematics until his death. As he grew older, he started needing more sleep,and it is believed that he noted he was sleeping an extra 15 minutes at night.Using that, he was able to calculate the date of his death as the day thatsleeping time would reach 24 hours which was November 27, 1754. Though some areskeptical about the story, he did, in fact, die on the very day he predicted hewould.
