About this book
Randall Munroe uses mathematics and science to investigate unlikely situations proposed by visitors to his website. The collection pairs humorous premises with detailed reasoning, beginning with the consequences of Earth suddenly stopping while its atmosphere keeps moving. Munroe’s background in physics informs an approach that treats even apparently absurd questions as opportunities for calculation.
