We lost Konrad Zuse on this day in 1995; he invented
the world's first
programmable computer -- the Z3 -- which was unfortunately lost in the
Berlin bombing during 1943.
He is also known for being a pioneer in digital physics and has written a
very peculiar book on the subject[1]. Highly recommended if anyone is
interested in those subjects.
