Plus ultra[note 1]Ā ("Further beyond") is a Latin motto and the national motto ofĀ Spain. It is taken from the personal motto ofĀ Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, and is a reversal of the original phraseĀ Non plus ultraĀ ("Nothing further beyond").[note 2]Ā This was said to have been inscribed as a warning on theĀ Pillars of HerculesĀ at theĀ Strait of Gibraltar, which marked the edge of the known world. Charles adopted the motto following the discovery of the New World by Columbus, and it also has metaphorical suggestions of taking risks and striving for excellence.

The motto continued to be popular in Spain after Charles V's death. It appeared in Habsburg propaganda and was used to encourage Spanish explorers to ignore the old warning and go beyond the Pillars of Hercules. Today it is featured on both theĀ flagĀ andĀ armsĀ of Spain.

Fictional history

 

Gustave Eiffel met Jules Verne along with Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison at his Tower apartment to start a secret society of optimists. Plus Ultra was founded at theĀ 1889Ā World's Fair inĀ Paris, France. The organization's purpose is to create, moderate and expand upon new scientific advancements for humanity. Key members of Plus Ultra included Ray Bradbury, Amelia Earhart, Mark Twain, Nikola Tesla, and other key scientific figures. Walt Disney was a member of Plus Ultra.

 

TheĀ TomorrowlandĀ '59 expansion atĀ DisneylandĀ was actually about training future society members for the journey to anĀ alternate-universethat had been found by Plus Ultra. The blueprints for the expansion held key technologies that enabled the journey, including Supra Transport.

 

Key VIPs who were encouraged to join Plus Ultra were given a special VIP audio tour of World's Fair attractions - such as Ford's Magic Skyway, and It's a Small World. For those that couldn't attend the fair, a double-grooved LP was given with the details.

 

Walt Disney'sĀ It's a Small WorldĀ attraction at the Pepsi-Cola Pavilion at theĀ 1964 New York World's FairĀ contained a portal to Tomorrowland.
