I went to a museum and learned that Isaac Newton was actually a pirate and secretly did scientific research without his crew mates knowing. There was even a stone carving of him on his ship, feathered hat and all.

¿they really went “we are going to open the second of our three specials celebrating the 60th anniversary of our tv show with an isaac newton febreeze commercial and it is going to have absolutely zero bearing on anything beyond giving the doctor and donna something to gossip about and making a thousand tardis wiki editors burst into flames” huh?

Some background for the Magnus Protocols #19, found on Wikipedia:

“Diana's Tree (Latin: Arbor Diana or Dianae), also known as the Philosopher's Tree (Arbor Philosophorum), was considered a precursor to the philosopher's stone…The arborescence of this amalgam, which even included fruit-like forms on its branches, led pre-modern chemical philosophers to theorize the existence of life in the kingdom of minerals.[4]”

“In 2016, a copy of Starkey's recipe for making the Tree of Diana was discovered in a manuscript by Isaac Newton; however, there is no evidence that Newton attempted the process.[10] Newton kept his experiments on alchemy a secret, as the practice was illegal in England at the time. In addition, much of Newton's work regarding alchemy was lost in a fire supposedly started by his dog.[11]”
