Hey everyone, welcome to Talk Nurdy.

I'm your host, Kara Santa Maria,

and if you are a fan of theoretical physics,

if you are a fan of cosmology, or even if you are a fan of cosmology or even if you are little afraid of those things

haven't been a fan because they've been a bit overwhelming I think that you are

really going to enjoy today's episode but before we jump right

into it I want to take a quick moment to thank those of you who in your own way make talk nerdy available each week 100% free to download.

So I'm going to start by thanking Jake Craig, James Talient, David Eurek, and Jeff Sewell,

thank you for so much for going to my website, Kara Sant Maria.com

and offering to basically make these recurring contributions through the

PayPal button there. Your support makes Talk Nurdy possible. Couldn't Do It Without You. Thank you so much.

I also want to thank Thomas Burns from Calgary, Alberta.

Thank you so much for your contribution. I want to thank Jim Sellers from Greendale, Wisconsin. And lastly, as always, I want to thank Rick Richardson from Elma Washington.

And guys, if you are listening right now

and you want to contribute to the podcast,

a great way to do it is to shop the Talk Nurdy store.

I have all sorts of cool things from t-shirts

to handmade beautiful mugs to handmade bookmarks and key chains

and lots of fun stuff.

If you go to kara Santa Maria.com and click on store. You can check out all the cool products that are for sale there.

The reason I sell them is to help support the podcast.
