What if?

What if?: Serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions / Randall Munroe 303 pg.

Have you got unanswered questions?  I think we all do.  If those questions are science related, you can ask them to Randall Munroe, the author of the webcomic xkcd and he might try to answer it.  Now he has put some of the questions and their answers into a book.  If, for example, you have been wondering what would happen if you started rising at 1 foot per second, how would you die?  Would you freeze, suffocate or something else?  This book has a whole chapter covering this topic.  The answers you get here are as interesting as the questions.  Who else would spend the time researching such thing?  Munroe is a gem and has a lot of librarian in him.
