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.
學術萌太逗瞭!插畫可以齣一個錶情包
評分非常有趣,沒有晦澀的公式,但也不是插科打諢的科普。用漫畫和輕鬆的描述展現一個個腦洞大開的問題背後的物理圖像,非常棒。

評分有趣的腦洞,不過讀多瞭也會膩。

評分怎么说呢?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”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?“——会地震吗?70亿人还挺多的。 "如果SAT考试的选择题完全靠蒙,出现满分的几率是多少?"——早几年我非常想知道答案,现在只想看个热闹。 "从多高处掉下来的牛排才能在掉...
評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。
