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.
BRAVO!學習的意義就在於,想象力馳騁的時候,有堅實的地基能讓你馳騁的更遠。
評分有趣的腦洞,不過讀多瞭也會膩。
評分學術萌太逗瞭!插畫可以齣一個錶情包
評分由於時間的關係,我並沒有從頭到尾仔仔細細讀一遍,而是著重看瞭有關諸如DNA等自己更感興趣的內容,其它都隻是掃瞭一遍,放過瞭很多細節。這本書的賣點在於其用物理化學生物地理等科學知識來迴答各種假設情景中的問題。作者自身的科學功底在迴答中可見其深厚,對於貌似無厘頭的提問既保持嚴謹分析,又做到風趣易懂。開腦洞不可怕,可怕的是腦洞開的如此創意四射……
評分腦洞開得深得我心~~~啊哈哈哈哈哈~↖(^ω^)↗
怎么说呢?作为给小白看的科普读物,又讲解的不够细致跟清楚,让我看的时候不停有疑问,而书里又没有给出答案,比如第一个例子中潮汐力是什么,潮汐锁定的地外行星又是什么?作者就这样用了,也不解释原因,第二个例子里为什么空气快速撞上棒球就会发生核聚变,又射出伽马射线...
評分那些古怪又让人忧心的问题 一本很可爱的书 让一个纯正的文科生我看得烧脑不已 从来没想过这些看起来很滑稽的问题还真的能有逻辑地被回答出来,原来一个人要是想哭到脱水要哭5.6年,原来牛排从很高的天上掉下来会很有可能变成匹兹堡牛排,原来叠25万块积木之后最下面那块就会...
評分一本脑洞大开的书,问题大多不是很现实,但却是突破思维定势的一种尝试,于个人想象、思维创新有一定促进作用。 大多问题,估计很多人甚至想都没想过。其实很多事情还是蛮有趣的呢。比如,"人以每秒1英尺的速度上升,是先冻死还是先窒息而死?将元素周期表中的元素都排列在一...
評分文/蓝莓兔子 如果把牙齿的温度降到很低,有没有可能在喝到热咖啡的时候牙齿就碎了?如果地球上所有的人都拿着激光笔同时照向月亮,月亮的颜色会发生变化吗?如果地球上的所有人都尽可能挤在同一个地方,一起跳起,然后全部在一刹那间同时落地,会发生什么?如果一个女性用他自...
評分小的时候,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...
