BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: (1642-1727). Considered to be one of the most important figures in Earth's development of science. Newton developed laws of motion and universal gravitation and invented calculus. Data programmed a holographic re-creation of Newton for a holodeck poker game that also included Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. According to legend, Newton formulated his theories of gravitation after an apple fell on his head while he was sitting under an apple tree. A member of the Q Continuum, later called Quinn, said he was responsible for causing the apple to fall. SEE: Cambridge University; Lucasian Chair. Modern historians generally regard the apple story as apocryphal.
