Are aliens real? Do they have one eye? What do they eat? Astronomer, Dr Danny Price from Curtin University is answering the kids’ questions. He’s also the chief scientist in Australia’s division of Breakthrough Listen - a project searching for alien life. Finding intelligent alien life would be one of humanity’s most profound discoveries. The possibility fills us with wonder. And if we do find them, how will we communicate? What will alien culture be like? Would you swipe right on Clarke from Mars? On the flip side, what does never finding any alien life mean? Or worse, finding aliens that are aggressive? Being invaded would suck. Plus…. Cloud farts on Venus and are diamonds in Uranus? Big Questions from Small Minds is a weekly podcast where kids ask big-brained science professors curly questions like, “Are aliens real? Will AI destroy the world? And what happens if we don’t stop climate change?” The answers are broken down to be fun, engaging and often silly. Co-hosted by Tom Norton and Phil Wolf, who have very little minds, so they’re perfect for the job. More info at https://smallminds.au
