Grab your towel and hitchhike across the galaxy with Australia's most
popular scientist Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. Learn about Dr Karl, the
universe and everything, and discover how air-conditioning is sexist,
how you can kill a spinning hard drive by shouting at it and how space
junk is threatening our future capabilities for space travel. Could
there be life on one of Saturn's moons? How much power could you collect
from all the lightning on Earth? Why do books have book-smell? Why is
10 per cent of the Earth's land area prone to sinkholes? Why are
some people chronically late? What would happen if the Earth stopped
spinning? Why do most people hardly remember anything from the first
half-a-dozen years of their life? How close are we to the Artificial
Uterus? Why do some songs turn into earworms and stick inside your
brain? Why does your hotel room access card get wiped so easily? And
is your home WiFi really spying on you?
