Starts 11/12/1936CONFIRMED 88% CONFIDENCEWikipedia's^[2][3] article on Turing's proof dates the submission without hedging: "Turing's proof is a proof by Alan Turing submitted on 12 November 1936 and first published in 1937 with the title 'On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem'." The pin is the submission, which is the dated act; the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society issue carrying it is dated 1937.

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.

Starts 04/25/1953CONFIRMED 85% CONFIDENCEThe issue itself carries the date: the paper was "published by Francis Crick and James D. Watson in the scientific journal Nature^[1] on pages 737-738 of its 171st volume (dated 25 April 1953)", and Nature's own page for the article gives the same issue date.

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.
