'''Sir Isaac Newton''' ([[1642]]-[[1727]]) was an [[English]] physicist and mathematician. One of his most famous accomplishments was formulating the theory of [[gravity]]. The [[Fourth Doctor]] once claimed that he sat in Newton's tree dropping [[apple]]s onto his head, then explained gravity to him over dinner. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Pirate Planet]]'') It later came to light that Newton remained upset about that event, as his nose bled for three days afterward. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Summer (audio story)|Summer]]'')

At some point the Doctor took Newton on a trip to planet [[Practas Seven]], but according to the [[Tenth Doctor]], Newton didn't take the experience very well and "sat in a corner and whimpered". ([[IDW]]: ''[[Final Sacrifice]]'')
