Dr. Karl

And yeah, it's time for some weird science with our, I don't know, favourite scientist.

I want to say something really nice about you, Dr. Carl, but I know that I don't want to embarrass you.

I don't know.

You're just awesome.

I love you, Dr. Carl.

There you go.

Oh, shucks.

I'm not worthy, but thank you so much, Dr. Pat.

[upbeat music] Ahoy, Shirtless Scientists.

Uh, Karl Kruszelnicki, Dr. Karl.

And here we are talking with Peter Levitov about how, oh my God, the AI agents are gonna maybe kill us.

Am I over-exaggerating a bit here, Dr. Peter?

It's about time for some weird science on Australia Overnight with Dr Karl, who's back on the program.

Hi, Dr Karl.

Hi, Dr Pat.

Now, what's happening as Australia's sea levels rise? Tell me more about this one.

Well, global warming is real, and the good news is that we can... stop it simply by keeping fossil carbon in the ground, but that would cut into the profits of 300 companies and countries, so $8 billion of suffering.

Have you seen Vince Sorrenti do his comedy routine about the great dividing range, the great white shark, the great, the great, the great? He's been doing it for a while.

I hope he doesn't, you know, it's so funny.

Have you ever seen that, Dr. Carl? He does a routine about all the great stuff.

She's going to give us a little bit of insight into what it's like reporting from Canberra.

Dr. Carl is back.

Pandiculation is our word of the week.

Oh, yeah.

The other thing if you want to watch a bit of YouTube while you're there, there's the – you know, a lot of YouTube, everyone reacts to something.

You watch someone famous react to something else.

But they have a series of vocal coaches who watch Help Live, the Melbourne Superfuel Driven – And it is just – I mean, it's Farnham's version of awesome to watch anyway, but you watch someone else discovering it.

And particularly vocal coaches know this stuff.

Thanks to Pestrol with the blank quiz.

Weird Science with Dr. Carl is also on the way this morning.

Why do humans, polar bears, even some birds and ants, why do they all kiss? And we'll discuss that.

And a study...

What did it show about the unethical behaviour of wealthy people versus lower income people? What did this study reveal? All that and more with Dr.

Carl.

That's on the way.

Thanks again, my friend.

Hello.

Welcome to another episode of Science with Dr. Karl.

My name is Lucy Smith, and this week it is all about radio stars.

Not me, silly.

She's a friend of the show, a radio astronomer who we love chatting to, and she got into some really in-depth questions, but also some basics around the life cycle of a star.

It was all really interesting to tap into with her.

And we had our regular science questions for Dr. Karl, talking all things red light, thread and pinworm, and much more.

Let's get into it.

I'm Dr. Karl, coming to you from the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

I acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians and traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work.

[upbeat music] G'day, Dr. Karl, Chair in Science at University of Sydney, and today we're talking with Marcus Chown about how if you want to find certain p- particles, we have to build a detector not just bigger than a pyramid, bigger than Jupiter.

Did I get it partially right, Dr. Marcus?

Got it completely right.

So we'll say goodbye on this one, and we'll catch you on the, the next one.

See you later, Dr. Marcus, and thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Karl.

Carl with Science After News.

Heading to news now, then after news, Dr Karl and Weird Science.

You're listening to Australia Overnight with Pat Panetta.

Welcome to a brand new day.

That's right, time for

Weird Science in

Australia Overnight, and here he is, it's Dr Karl.

Hi there, Dr Karl.
