Does such a theorem/principle exist?

Ok, this may sound strange but I have heard it before but can't remember the name of it.

"When you learn something new, you forget something in its place."

"More you know of something the less you know of another thing."

Thanks (I know it is an odd request)

Its just that I don't think I can remember anything more, Nothing is going in.

You're just doing it wrong, the brain isn't like a bucket, you can't just put stuff into it and expect it to stay there. If anything it's like a bucket full of holes, you just poor water in and it will trickle out pretty quickly, you have to put something in that you solidly understand for it to stick.

That is a very good analogy, never thought of it like that.
