(Other definitions for isaac newton that I've seen before include "English mathematician and physicist" , "Principia author" , "Scientist who proposed the basic laws of motion" , "Seventeenth to eighteenth century English physicist/mathematician" , "Laws of Motion man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
