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.
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 an enormous, dedicated following, as do his deeply researched answers to his fans’ strangest questions.
The queries he receives range from merely odd to downright diabolical:
• What if I took a swim in a spent-nuclear-fuel pool?
• Could you build a jetpack using downward-firing machine guns?
• What if a Richter 15 earthquake hit New York City?
• Are fire tornadoes possible?
His responses are masterpieces of clarity and wit, gleefully and accurately explaining everything from the relativistic effects of a baseball pitched at near the speed of light to the many horrible ways you could die while building a periodic table out of all the actual elements.
The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with the most popular answers from the xkcd website. What If? is an informative feast for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.

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...

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...
