Science celebrity Dr Karl Kruszelnicki was unable to answer the hard questions thrown at him when he sat down with kids for a science Q&A at the Lady Cilento Hospital yesterday.

One child asked what the quantitative state of matter was and what happens in black holes, to which Dr Karl replied, “we don’t know.”

Dr Karl is a guest speaker for the World Science Festival in Brisbane this week where aside from inspiring kids, he is interested in improving Australia's educational curriculum.
