Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn’t, science will fix it.
BILL NYEScience is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn’t, science will fix it.
BILL NYEI hope next generation will emerge and produce technology, regulations, and a worldview that enable as many of us as possible to live happy healthy lives.
BILL NYEEvolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time.
BILL NYEI always say when you see that old black-and-white footage of the rocket on the launch pad and it falls over and explodes, that’s because people had slide rules. Not having the decimal point is a real drawback. You want the decimal point, take it from me.
BILL NYEBut investment in space stimulates society, it stimulates it economically, it stimulates it intellectually, and it gives us all passion.
BILL NYEWhen we sit down to draw or paint the sun’s rays, we generally use yellow because in the morning and the evening with the blue light scattered away so strongly you’re left with a little bit of red and it comes out yellowish.
BILL NYEI’ll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders.
BILL NYEThe strange thing about grinding that might surprise many people is that you can grind things and shape them using materials that are generally somewhat softer than the thing you’re grinding and shaping.
BILL NYEThink 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 NYEHard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.
BILL NYEThe most serious problem facing humankind is climate change. All of these people breathing and burning our atmosphere has led to an extraordinarily dangerous situation.
BILL NYEThere really is no such thing as race.
BILL NYEIf you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they’ll be all over it.
BILL NYEThe Big Bang banged, and for some reason we’re here. And that’s astonishing. And that we can understand that, that’s the most astonishing.
BILL NYEWe are part of the process; we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.
BILL NYEPeople get a lot out of being religious. They have strong senses of community and mutual support. So, what’s not to love [there]?
