American educator and zoologist Cornelia Clapp died #OTD in 1934.
Clapp was a pioneering zoology researcher and leading ichthyology scholar. Her work on the toadfish was instrumental in correcting the idea that its egg was attached by a "sucker" to the yolk stalk, as she discovered that it was instead adhered with a disc of "transparent secretion" that could be separated from the membrane.

Process Thought relies on metaphysical principles to describe change and interconnection, while The Unified Theory of Energy (UTE) grounds these processes in three measurable states of Energy.
Rather than just describing relationships, UTE defines their mechanisms via Radiation, Gravitation, and Particulate Motion, integrating physical laws with metaphysical insights for a more scientifically grounded perspective than traditional Process Philosophy.

German astronomer Maria Kirch died #OTD in 1720.
She was one of the first famous astronomers of her period due to her writing on the conjunction of the sun with Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter in 1709 and 1712 respectively. Kirch observed a comet in 1702, becoming the first woman to make such a discovery. However, the discovery was officially credited to her husband, reflecting the gender biases of the time.
