Quote

The 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.

If you meet somebody who says he or she has never dreamed of flying, I don't believe you. I mean, they're lying.
Bill Nye

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.
Bill Nye
Image
Not wasting any water bottles is good. Not leaving the lights on is good. Turning the thermostat down in the winter, up in the summer, is good. But the best thing any of us in the developed world, especially in the United States, can be doing is talking about it.
Bill Nye

I feel that I've often pointed out that there are countless aspects of life and nature that scientists and scientific thinkers cannot explain. Why the universe is accelerating in its expansion and what came before the Big Bang serve as compelling examples. The process of science provides a way to seek answers to those questions.
Bill Nye

History is but the record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object, therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present people who ate and possibly drank people who were born, flourished and died not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.

Without an end to the burning of fossil fuels, coal especially, most of us will live shorter lives. I'm hopeful, but very, very concerned.

There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening.

My father was a very good Boy Scout. He was very skilled with knots, and he showed me how to tie a bow tie.

That's what makes a human a human, if we store information outside our bodies.
Bill Nye
Image
Humor is everywhere in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.
Bill Nye
Image
The meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future. The claim that we would not have morals or ethics without religion is extraordinary. Animals in nature seem to behave in moral ways without organized religion.
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. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.
Bill Nye
Image
Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.
Bill Nye
Image
Incidentally, the creationists that I've encountered diligently deny that our Earth's climate is being altered by people. This point of view and teaching is in absolutely no one's best interest. Here's hoping we can work together and preserve the Earth, for us - us humans.

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

If we raise a generation of students who dont believe in the process of science, who think everything that weve come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, youre not going to continue to innovate.

The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all.
Bill Nye
Image
When we explore the cosmos, we come to believe and prove that we can solve problems that have never been solved. It brings out the best in us. Space exploration imbues everyone with an optimistic view of the future.

Recommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.
Bill Nye

There are two ways to be rich: to have more or need less. It's estimated that we squander about 30 percent of our energy leaving the lights on, the refrigerator door open, and so on. Then there is the enormous amount of food that we expend huge amounts of energy to raise and then throw away.
