The Royal Society thought the best way to advance knowledge was to discuss ideas, so each man could build on—or knock down—what the others were thinking. Their motto was Nullius in verba, which means roughly, “Don’t take anyone’s word for it.”

Clubs like the Royal Society were springing up all over in Newton’s time. This period is often called the Age of Enlightenment. Enlightenment means learning the kind of important knowledge that changes the way people think. The great scholars of the time believed in working together. They wanted to deal with issues of all kinds using reason, logic, and observation—not superstition or religion.
