- 2064: Napoleon
- ... attempted on many occasion to stop the momentum that Bonaparte and his French empire was gaining. The view by others that he was a ruthless and sadistic leader, who created war for his personal gain was well expressed by Guillamme de Prosper-Barante, "He never wished to be justified. He killed, he killed according to Corsican traditions, and if he sometimes regretted this mistake, he never understood this as a crime" (I, pg.38). Another feeling of resentment towards Bonaparte was that he was unorganized, sloppy, and basically lucky.

- 2067: Charles Darwin
- ... century after his death, and four generations after the publication of his chief work, "The Origin of Species", Charles Darwin may still be considered the most controversial scientist in the world.
