Hide-and-seek: Newton-Pascal-Einstein style!

Up in heaven, three great physicists were playing hide and go seek: Newton, Pascal, and Einstein.

It was Einstein's turn to seek, so Einstein closed his eyes and counted to 10 while Pascal and Newton went to hide. Pascal hid behind a tree, Newton just stood there and drew a 1 meter by 1 meter box around him on the ground.

When Einstein was done counting, he opened his eyes (probably cleaned his heavy-duty goggles first) and said, "Newton, what are you doing? You're supposed to hide! You're out!" And Newton replied, "No, you're wrong, I'm not Newton, I'm Pascal! See, I'm one Newton per square meter! Pascal is out!"
