Apparently there is redundancy in memory: You store the same memory in different parts of your brain for accessing at different speeds. That speed would depend on the frequency of use and the importance of the knowledge.
BILL NYE -
Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. If one’s faith requires one to abandon or ignore natural laws, well, that person is going to have trouble reconciling religion and science. Otherwise, there is no any conflict.
BILL NYE -
I am so old, I entered engineering school with a slide rule. And I left engineering school with a calculator. I can still use a slide rule but it’s not a skill you especially need anymore.
BILL NYE -
One of the drawbacks of English is you can’t spell things by hearing them.
BILL NYE -
Along with the evidence of common sense, researchers have proven scientifically that humans are all one people. We’re a lot like dogs in that regard. If a Great Dane interacts (can we say interact?) with a Chihuahua, you get a dog.
BILL NYE -
If you just take a single human and put him or her in the forest he or she might not do very well without some sort of education which he got or she got from some tribe.
BILL NYE -

BILL NYE -
Think how fortunate we are to know this much. But think also of all that’s yet to be discovered. Here’s hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.
BILL NYE -
When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It’s like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?
BILL NYE -
I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world’s energy problems, energy distribution problems.
BILL NYE -
The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
BILL NYE -
How did we let an ideological resistance to inquiry become such a prominent part of our society?
BILL NYE -
Evolution is not something you can believe in or not believe in like do you believe in gravity.
