So, what
exactly is a scientific revolution? And are they more than just moments in time
Historians use to mark the beginning and ending of things through time? In this
episode we'll look into some ideas and people named Nick and how they fit into
science and the search to understand ourselves and our place in the universe.

We learn
things throughout our entire lives, but we still don’t know everything because
we forget a lot of information. Bright Side will tell you about 11 simple
memorizing tips that will help you remember everything and improve your memory.

SUMMARY
- Your brain
is like a hard drive — the space is limited. Remember Sherlock Holmes? He
couldn’t name all the planets of the Solar system — this was not because he
missed school or something like that, but because he was too smart to have such
irrelevant information in his memory. He deliberately erased facts he would
never need. This is what your brain does: it protects you from overloading with
information. That’s why all new data is stored in the short-term memory, not
the long-term one. So, if you don’t repeat it or use it, you forget it very
quickly.
A German
psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus researched the memory and its mechanisms. He
described the Forgetting Curve which shows that just one hour after learning
something new we forget more than half of the learned information. One day
later we remember only about 30% percent. Well, you see where this is going.
- There is a
memorization technique called «Spaced repetition». To keep some information in
your head for a longer time, you need to try to put it into your long-term
memory. Forced memorization is not very effective in this case because your
brain can’t make sense of the information quickly and form strong associations.
Here it all depends on the reason why you are learning something.
- To
memorize something quickly, repeat the information right after learning it.
The second
repetition should be after 15-20 minutes.
You don’t
need to return to the information between repetitions — just rest and do
something different. Let your brain relax.
Repeat the
learned material the third time after 6-8 hours.
And you
should have the final repetition 24 hours after the first contact with the
information.
