Informació de l'obraWhat If? 2: Additional Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions de Randall Munroe (Author)
   Penguin Random House (202) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This What If? book was more jam-packed with neat ideas than the first one! (  ) troymcc | Jan 28, 2023 |  This one is just as much fun as the first book. I like that the answers are generally shorter though Munroe does go to Mythbuster style absurd lengths at times. Some of my favorites are: • How much meat a day would be needed to feed a T. Rex • How long would it take to read every book • Can you eat a cloud • The billion-story building • And the gag of "Things You Should Not Do" that runs throughout the book (Spoiler: Don't tell California that your farm is selling Pokemon eggs) I listened to the audio book narrated by Wil Wheaton. You can tell Wheaton is enjoying himself immensely as you can hear the laughter in his voice at times as he reads, especially as he describes some of the cartoons. I hope we get a 3rd What If? in the future. (  ) Narilka | Dec 31, 2022 | I love this book. Such an interesting and playful way to think about the world. I wish I knew more physics to be able to find stuff out like this. ( ) codykh | Dec 23, 2022 | More science absurdism from Randall Munroe. Entertaining, silly, and extremely educational. Careful citation of sources is always appreciated, and this volume has rather more [citation needed] tags for facts like "the sun is hot", which I think Wikipedia would probably let go. ( ) adzebill | Nov 27, 2022 | Not quite as interesting as the first book, but still enjoyable. (  ) Guide2 | Nov 26, 2022 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
