Megakart: What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe Book

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. The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with updated and expanded versions of the most popular answers.
