Albert Einstein reads The Field Equations of Gravitation to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin, giving general relativity its final form after an inconsistency with observation sent him back to the drawing board.

Arthur Eddington presents the results of the May 1919 eclipse expeditions to Principe and Sobral at a joint session of the Royal Society and the Royal Astronomical Society at Burlington House. The measured deflection of starlight matches Einstein's prediction, and the meeting accepts it.

Cadbury's first factory outside Britain officially opened at Claremont on Hobart's Derwent River on October 21, 1921, drawn by Tasmania's cheap hydroelectricity and reliable dairy supply. The site still turns local milk and sugar into millions of Easter eggs and bunnies each year.

Hulda Zumsteg took over the Kronenhalle in 1924 and ran it for half a century, taking paintings in part payment and hanging them where the diners sat - so the walls now carry Chagall, Miró, Picasso and Matisse above the tables where Joyce and Giacometti ate.

Charles Lindbergh flew the Ryan NYP from Roosevelt Airfield on Long Island to Le Bourget in Paris, 3,600 miles in 33 hours and 30 minutes, the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight. It won him the $25,000 Orteig Prize.

Reuben Schwartz a ouvert sa charcuterie sur le boulevard Saint-Laurent le 31 décembre 1928, et la poitrine de bœuf y est fumée de la même façon depuis : salaison à sec sans nitrates, dix jours de cure, servie tranchée à la main sur pain de seigle. La file d'attente devant l'étroite salle fait partie du paysage montréalais.

Frank Gordy opened the Varsity in 1928 beside Georgia Tech, and it grew into what it still calls the world's largest drive-in - two blocks of car park, a counter shouting What'll ya have, and chili dogs, onion rings and Frosted Orange by the ton on a football Saturday.

Pat Olivieri's stand at Ninth and Passyunk began selling chopped beef on a roll in 1930, which is the origin story the cheesesteak is usually given. The corner now holds it and its rival Geno's on opposite sides of the street, both open around the clock.

Ford-Werke produced its first vehicle, a Model A-based truck, at the new Cologne-Niehl plant, the German headquarters Henry Ford himself helped establish with Mayor Konrad Adenauer the year before. The site grew into the mini-city-sized mega factory shown in this documentary.

A dust storm swept the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles on the afternoon of 14 April 1935, displacing an estimated 300,000 tons of topsoil. It reached Beaver around 4 p.m., Boise City at 5:15 and Amarillo at 7:20.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, then the largest concrete structure ever built.

Alan Turing submits "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem" to the London Mathematical Society. It defines the abstract machine that became the model for every computer built since, and proves the Entscheidungsproblem undecidable.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, a mile-long suspension span across a notoriously treacherous strait, opened to the public with a Pedestrian Day that drew roughly 200,000 walkers.

The Savoy opened on 3 June 1937 on the top floor above the Esplanade, with an interior by Alvar and Aino Aalto - the room the Savoy Vase was designed for, and the one Mannerheim ate in often enough to leave his vorschmack on the menu permanently.

The Sphinx Observatory, a research station tunnelled into a 3,571-metre Alpine summit above the Jungfraujoch, was completed in 1937 as one of Europe's most remote scientific buildings.

Kellogg's inaugurates its Trafford Park factory in Manchester, the first Kellogg's plant built outside the United States. Built in ten months, it becomes the largest cereal factory in the British Empire.

Boeing's Model 314 Clipper flying boat made its 38-minute first flight over Puget Sound, piloted by test pilot Eddie Allen. The giant flying boat went on to open Pan Am's first non-stop transatlantic passenger service.

Aragvi opened on Tverskaya Street in 1938 and became the Georgian restaurant of Soviet Moscow - a table for the nomenklatura and their guests, said to have been founded under Beria's patronage, with frescoed cellars beneath the street. It has since closed.

Erich Warsitz flew the He 178 V1 for six minutes from Heinkel’s Marienehe factory airfield at Rostock, the first aircraft ever to fly on the thrust of a turbojet. The undercarriage would not retract and the landing was made by side-slipping.

Germany's 1,350-tonne Krupp-built railway gun Schwerer Gustav fired roughly 48 shells at the Soviet fortress city of Sevastopol in June 1942, its only combat use in the war. Trains as War Machines features the gun as an extreme case of rail warfare.

The International Military Tribunal read its judgment in Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice: nineteen of the twenty-two defendants were convicted, twelve were sentenced to death and three were acquitted. It was the first time the leaders of a state were tried by an international court for waging aggressive war and for crimes against humanity.

Captain Chuck Yeager, drop-launched from a B-29 over the Mojave Desert, took X-1 #46-062 "Glamorous Glennis" to Mach 1.06 – the first piloted aeroplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight. It was XS-1 flight number 50.

Claude Shannon's paper appears in the Bell System Technical Journal, defining the bit, channel capacity and entropy, and founding information theory. Every modem, codec and error-correcting code since rests on it.

Bar Brahma opened in 1948 at the corner of São João and Ipiranga, the crossing Caetano Veloso later sang about, and became the bar where São Paulo's journalists, politicians and musicians drank in the same room. It closed once, reopened under another name, failed, and came back as Bar Brahma again.

Jack Durant opens his steakhouse on North Central Avenue in Phoenix; three-quarters of a century later its red flocked wallpaper and leather horseshoe booths are still the draw.

Peter Canlis a ouvert son restaurant en 1950 sur le versant dominant le lac Union, dans un pavillon à ossature poteaux-poutres de verre et de pierre devenu un emblème du modernisme du Nord-Ouest, et il est resté dans la famille. Son service en kimono et son gril à charbon de bois en cuivre étaient tous deux inhabituels pour une salle de restaurant américaine de l'époque.

BOAC’s G-ALYP took off from London for Johannesburg with fare-paying passengers, the first scheduled jetliner service in the world. Comet flights were about twice as fast as advanced piston airliners and cut London–Johannesburg to 21 hours 20 minutes.

Nature carries Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, the paper in which Francis Crick and James Watson describe the double helix. It runs to two pages and settles how genetic instructions are held and passed on.

A unanimous US Supreme Court held that state laws establishing separate public schools for Black and white children violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment - "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" - partially overruling Plessy v. Ferguson and its separate-but-equal doctrine.

France's SNCF pushed two modified electric locomotives to a then-world rail speed record of 331 km/h (206 mph) on a test track near Facture on March 28-29, 1955. An Infrastructural Game Changer cites the run as the moment fast trains overtook cars and planes.

At Ann Arbor, Thomas Francis Jr announced the results of the largest medical field trial ever run - 1.8 million children - and pronounced Jonas Salk's polio vaccine safe, effective and potent. Church bells rang across the United States; within two years American cases had fallen by almost 90 per cent.

Le parc à thème de 17 millions de dollars de Walt Disney, construit sur d'anciennes orangeraies d'Anaheim au terme d'un chantier chaotique, a ouvert sous le nom de Disneyland pour la presse et des invités.

Yang Bing-yi founded Din Tai Fung in Taipei in 1958, first as a cooking-oil retailer and then as a dumpling house when the oil business failed. Its xiaolongbao, pleated to a standard count of folds, turned a single shop on Xinyi Road into a chain across Asia and the United States.

H.J. Heinz opens its Kitt Green factory near Wigan, which grows into the company's largest food processing plant in the world and Europe's biggest.

Harry Barberian opened his steak house on Elm Street in 1959, in a row of Victorian houses behind Yonge Street, and it has outlasted most of what grew up around it - a dark room of oil paintings and charcoal-grilled beef with one of the deepest wine cellars in Canada dug out beneath it.

A magnitude 9.5 megathrust rupture off southern Chile shook for ten minutes — the strongest earthquake ever instrumentally recorded. Its tsunami crossed the Pacific and struck Hilo, Hawaii, with waves 10.7 m high.

In 1961 General Motors installed the Unimate, the world's first industrial robot, at its New Jersey factory to lift and stack hot die-cast metal parts. Industry 4.0 opens its history of factory automation with this machine.

Sam Walton opened Wal-Mart Discount City on Rogers' Highway 71, his first store under the name after a decade running Ben Franklin variety stores. The format was the bet: lower margins on everything, in towns the big chains had written off as too small.

On October 1, 1964, just nine days before the Tokyo Olympics opened, Japan's Tokaido Shinkansen began carrying passengers between Tokyo and Osaka at over 200 km/h.

The Houston Astrodome, the world's first fixed-roof, air-conditioned multipurpose stadium, opened on 9 April 1965 with an exhibition game between the Astros and Yankees — though it's stood closed and searching for a new use since 2008.

Gordon Moore's four-page article in Electronics observes that the number of components per chip has been doubling yearly and projects it forward a decade. The observation becomes Moore's law and the semiconductor industry's roadmap.

Mercedes-Benz's Wörth am Rhein plant, which had assembled only truck cabs since opening in 1963, produced its first complete vehicle, a green LP 608, on 14 July 1965. The plant has since grown into the world's largest truck factory, building models including the Actros.

London's cylindrical BT Tower (originally the GPO Tower) began carrying live microwave telecommunications traffic in 1965, its concrete core partly designed to survive a nuclear blast.

Opel opened its Dudenhofen proving ground near Frankfurt in April 1966, the most modern car test center in Europe at the time. Six decades on, its more than 70 kilometers of track still put prototype technologies like automated driving through secretive testing before they reach the road.

BMW's newly built assembly line at its Berlin-Spandau plant produces its first complete motorcycle, an R 60/2 with a swinging-fork chassis, kicking off the relocation of BMW motorcycle manufacturing from Munich to Berlin.

The US Army shut down Camp Century, its secret nuclear-powered base carved into the Greenland ice sheet to conceal a mobile missile network under Project Iceworm, after the tunnels it depended on began collapsing.

Moshe Safdie's modular housing experiment, conceived as his student thesis, opened to the public as a pavilion of Montreal's 1967 World's Fair.

Le premier Jumbo Jet a décollé de Paine Field avec les pilotes d'essai Jack Waddell et Brien Wygle aux commandes. Malgré un léger problème de volet, le vol a confirmé que le 747 se pilotait bien et était largement à l'abri du roulis hollandais qui avait affecté les premiers avions à ailes en flèche.

The Anglo-French supersonic airliner, built by Sud Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation under a 1962 treaty, flew for the first time from Toulouse. Four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojets drove an ogival delta wing carrying 92 to 128 passengers.
