What If? What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe. Millions visit xkcd.com each week to read Munroes iconic webcomic. Fans ask him a lot of strange questions: How fast can you hit a speed bump, driving, and live? When (if ever) did the sun go down on the British Empire? When will Facebook contain more profiles of dead people than living? How many humans would a T. rex rampaging through New York need to eat a day? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations and consults nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by comics. They often predict dramatic outcomes—up to the complete annihilation of humankind or, at least, a really big explosion.

The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd. For any task you might want to do, theres a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a playful, provocative guide to the third kind of approach, filled with highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. Its the perfect bookshelf companion for readers who enjoy curiosity with a wink and a nod to science. Rebel Ideas Rebel Ideas: The
