(Other definitions for newton that I've seen before include "English mathematician and physicist, d. 1727" , "He discovered the law of gravity" , "Sir Isaac, discoverer of gravity" , "inclined to apply discovery?" , "Formulator of the law of gravitation, d. 1727" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
