R. B. Nevitz

Ronald Bela Nevitz was a 20th century scientific theorist.

Born in 1912 in Warsaw, he moved to England when he was older and did most of his work at Cambridge. In his 1958 book The Tree of Time he explained his theory of "time DNA", coining the term biodata to describe it.

Nevitz was assassinated by the Remote in 1979, perhaps believing that killing the father of the biodata theory would put them on a level with the Great Houses. A film about his life, Frozen Moments, was released in 1987. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
