Millions of readers of What If? still have unanswered questions, and those queries are becoming more bizarre. Randall Munroe, the creator of xkcd, is thankfully here to assist. Are you intending to return to Earth on a fire pole from the moon? The most difficult aspect is landing safely. Are you hoping that opening everyone's freezer door simultaneously would help chill the place down? Perhaps we might take a quick look at thermodynamics. Curious about what may occur if you leaped on a rupturing geyser, constructed a billion-story structure, rode a helicopter blade, or created a lava lamp? OK, if you really must.
Make sure you check this practical guide for unrealistic ideas before you feed the people of New York City to a T. rex, embark on a cosmic road trip, or stuff bananas into every cathedral. Unfazed by absurdity, Randall consults the latest research on everything from swing-set physics to airplane-catapult design to clearly and concisely answer his readers’ questions. As he continually shows, there's a lot to be learned by studying how the world may function under very particular extreme conditions.
What If? 2 is certain to be another immediate classic loved by curious readers of all ages. It is full of bizarre science, unquenchable curiosity, and Randall's trademark stick-figure cartoons.
