This is one of my photos from the research trip for A Star Shall Fall, when I visited the library of the Royal Society. Nullius in verba is their motto, and can loosely be translated as “on the words of no one” — indicating the group’s founding principle of testing knowledge through experimentation.

IIRC Tyson mentioned this in last night's ep of "Cosmos". Talk about coincidence.

That's what I was thinking. (Also about Halley's comet and calculating its path, since that played a role in A Star Shall Fall).
