Isaac Newton - Fictional appearances
Isaac Newton appears in many works of fiction. He is a recurring figure in Rubrique-à-brac, a French comic strip by Marcel Gotlieb. An ongoing gag involves various depictions of the legend that he discovered the law of gravity due to an apple falling on his head. Newton also figures as a major character in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle and in Philip Kerr's novel, Dark Matter. Newton's statue plays a pivotal role in a semi-autobiographical novel cum history of science set in Cambridge by the Dutch physicist and mathematician Klaas Landsman, "Requiem voor Newton".
Newton has a cameo role, along with Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein, in a poker game in the Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6 cliff-hanger episode "Descent, Part 1". Newton is notable in that scene for being the only scientist without a sense of humour. He also takes offence at the notion that the story of the apple would be fictitious. He also appears in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager where it is claimed that a member of the Q Continuum shook the tree he was sitting under, causing the apple to fall.
"Isaac Newton's College" is one of the "Wonders of the World" bonus achievements in the classic computer strategy game by Sid Meier, Civilization.
One of the more bizarre fictional appearances has been made in a Japanese animated show Vision of Escaflowne, where the main antagonist, Dornkirk, is revealed to be a 200+ year-old Isaac Newton.
Isaac Newton appears in "L'Envoi" at the end of Robert Heinlein's novel The Number of the Beast, as well as Arthur Conan Doyle (the joke being that the "Isaac" and "Arthur" referred to before their appearance will be assumed to be Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke).
Isaac Newton partially appears in The Simpsons episode BABF20, "A Tale of Two Springfields". Professor Frink tries to teleport Sir Isaac Newton into the modern day, but Homer cuts off the power during the attempt. Newton's lower half steps out of the machine and starts kicking Frink.
