I can't.

OK, can I ask you Patreon questions?

Yeah.

That's the right answer.

But before we get to your genius and weird and dry and perfect questions submitted on Patreon each episode, we donate to a charity of the all in just choosing.

This week, Dr. Becker chose Tech Bridge Girls, which excites, educates, and equips girls from low-income communities by delivering high-quality STEM programming that empowers a girl to achieve economic mobility and better life chances.

And Tech Bridge Girls was one of the earliest organizations to focus on introducing girls and marginalized communities to the STEM fields.

And it's based in Oakland, California, where Adam lives.

So that's techbridgegirls.org.

That donation was made possible by sponsors of the show.

And so you may hear some words about them right now.

Okay, back to your questions.

Travis DeMello wants to know, how does quantum stuff relate to nature?

What is its role beyond technology?

For more on that topic, you can see the osteology episode about bones.

Just saying.

So it's important.

Yeah, just a little bit.

So a bunch of folks asked about existence and what it really means and why, such as Wendy Lockhart, Sarah Piette, Matthew Thomas Hill, and Sam Gordon, who wants to know, how do you deal knowing what you know about existence?

And Christy Stewart wants to know, why does it matter if we exist or not?
