'''[[Wikipedia: Isaac Newton|Isaac Newton]]''' is a famous physicist and mathematician, well known for developing three fundamental laws of motion. He is one of the historical personages helped by [[Mario]] in ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]''.

==History==
===Background===
Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642 in [[List of implied locations#Woolsthorpe|Woolsthorpe]]. During his early years, he was rather uninterested in his studies, but this changed upon his enrollment in [[Cambridge University]]. However, his studies there were interrupted when the Great Black Plague broke out in [[London]] in 1665. This did not stop Newton from his work, however, and in just two years back on his family farm, Isaac Newton invented calculus, made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of optics, and first formulated his theories on gravity. At the age of thirty, he was made a full-fledged member of London's [[Royal Society|Royal Academy of Sciences]].

===''Mario's Time Machine''===
====Nintendo Entertainment System====
In ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', [[Bowser]], as part of a plot to create a [[Bowser's Museum|museum]] of historical artifacts as well as destabilize the timeline of [[Earth]]'s history, travels to 1687 in his [[Timulator]] and steals the [[apple]] that Isaac Newton should have observed to assist his contemplation on gravity. Mario, seeking to repair the damage Bowser caused, used the Timulator himself to return the apple to 1687. After some research into why it was historically important, Mario put the apple back into the tree so it could later fall for Newton.

====Super Nintendo Entertainment System====
Bowser's plot goes as described above in the SNES version of ''Mario's Time Machine''. However, Mario's method of returning the apple goes somewhat differently. Rather than get his information from [[Hint Block]]s, Mario instead talks with people around [[Cambridge University]], including Newton's fellow [[Royal Society]] members, to learn about Newton and the apple. Instead of returning the apple to the tree, Mario instead gives it to Newton directly.

In either case, the return of the apple to its proper point in time sparks Newton's interest in studying gravity, leading to the publication of [[List of implied entertainment#The Principia|"The Principia"]]. Newton would go on to publish other works as well, such as [[List of implied entertainment#Optics|"Optics"]]. In the modern day, whereas [[List of implied people#Einstein| Einstein]] is highly regarded in the field of atomic physics, Newton is still regarded for his work in more applicable physics, such as those that helped rockets get to [[the Moon]] and [[Mars]].
