What if? 2: Additional Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

"My 12-year-old says this book is “good for people who like blowing things up.” We both loved the 2014 book What if? and this sequel offers more of Randall Munroe’s answers to questions like “What would happen if the Solar System was filled with soup out to Jupiter?” Picking this book up now and then enlivens life by letting you briefly consider the effects of, say, putting an indestructible 20-meter-wide glass tube all the way down to the deepest part of the ocean. Plus, Munroe’s illustrations turn stick figures and flowcharts into the stuff of existential hilarity."
