AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!An NPR Best Book of 2022The questions throughout What If? 2 are equal parts brilliant gross and wonderfully absurd and the answers are thorough deeply researched and great fun. . . . Science isn’t easy but in Munroe’s capable hands it surely can be fun. —TIMEThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of What If? and How To answers more of the weirdest questions you never thought to ask The millions of people around the world who read and loved What If? still have questions and those questions are getting stranger. Thank goodness xkcd creator Randall Munroe is here to help. Planning to ride a fire pole from the Moon back to Earth? The hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to cool the atmosphere by opening everyone’s freezer door at the same time? Maybe it’s time for a brief introduction to thermodynamics. Want to know what would happen if you rode a helicopter blade built a billion-story building made a lava lamp out of lava or jumped on a geyser as it erupted? Okay if you insist. Before you go on a cosmic road trip feed the residents of New York City to a T. rex or fill every church with bananas be sure to consult this practical guide for impractical ideas. Unfazed by absurdity Munroe consults the latest research on everything from swing-set physics to airliner catapult–design to answer his readers’ questions clearly and concisely with illuminating and occasionally terrifying illustrations. As he consistently demonstrates you can learn a lot from examining how the world might work in very specific extreme circumstances.
