We learn by connecting the dots. I am watching Cosmos for the hundredth time, I have both Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson. I watch both and learn from each every time. The first 20 or 30 times the main concepts became clear. Now I stop and even back up and replay to understand. I have to look up certain words to be certain. I think each time a memory is formed and a new neuron is connected. We find truth in those connections when many concur. Repetition? No, it's more than that. It's the fundamental way our brains work. It's a new concept to me so I thought I would share. It's the way we learn. I love teachers! ~ Mike Drydale
