From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask.
Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe’s iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following.
Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?
In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.
The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with updated and expanded versions of the most popular answers from the xkcd website. What If? will be required reading for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.
Randall Munroe is the author of the popular webcomic xkcd and the science question-and-answer blog What If. Randall was born in Easton, Pennsylvania and grew up outside Richmond, Virginia. After studying physics at Christopher Newport University, he got a job building robots at NASA Langley Research Center. In 2006, he left NASA to draw comics on the internet full-time, supporting himself through the sale of xkcd t-shirts, prints, posters, and books. He likes candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach. Very long walks. Lots of people say they like long walks on the beach, but then they get out on the beach and after just an hour or two, they say they're getting tired. Bring a tent. He lives in Massachusetts.

评分I was like, dude.
评分我佩服三种人,1,物理很牛X的人;2,有幽默感的人;3,有绘画天赋的人。本书作者满足三个条件。本书脑洞非常大,当中一些idea可以参考来写科幻作品。
小的时候,曾经问我妈:“如果我们住在零下一百度的地方会怎么样?如果我把自己锁在一栋有一万把锁的房子里面会怎么样呢,别人要用多久找到我?我们真的是猿猴进化来的吗,猿猴又是从哪里来的,为什么我不是女娲造出来的啊……” 当时,我妈敲了敲我的头,说:“净想些乱...
评分一些無厘頭的問題,用科學與幽默的方式來回答,坦白說,讀完會有些收穫,卻又不怎麼營養,也不見得完全正確。它令我想到另一本經濟類別書籍 ~【親愛的臥底經濟學家】,幽默居多,實用其次,正確與否,就別計較。重要的是,在莞爾一笑外,啟發些思索。
评分 评分 评分So what? 读《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》有感 What if?如果看了这本书,你会怎么样? 人类还有多少未知的东西?对于大自然,对于宇宙甚至对于人体的内部结构,随着科学的进步和文明的发展,虽然知道的越多,但都存在一些未知的区域。人类于是保持着一种敬畏与谦卑的心态在...
