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

4.0

Randall Munroe is brilliant. Not just because he knows lots of things and not just because he can do some really complicated math, but in how he organizes his thoughts and breaks everything down in order to answer these questions. On top of all of this, he makes it funny!

Math and physics funny?
In the hands of this guy, it is.

Don't worry if math is not your thing, and if, like me, scientific notation kind of acts like Novocain on the brain, he uses the best analogies to make you understand exactly how infinitely big or infinitely small these concepts are.
