		What If? (International edition): Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, surprising answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask

Millions of people around the world visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe’s iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have an enormous, dedicated following, as do his deeply researched answers to his fans’ strangest questions. The queries he receives range from merely odd to downright diabolical:

• What if I took a swim in a spent nuclear fuel pool?
• Could you build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?
• What if a Richter 15 earthquake hit New York City?
• What would happen if someone’s DNA vanished?

His responses are comic gems, accurately and entertainingly explaining everything from your odds of meeting your soul mate to the many horrible ways you could die while building a periodic table out of all the actual elements.

This book features the most popular answers from the xkcd’s What If blog, but many of the questions (51 percent!) are new and answered here for the first time. What If? is an informative feast for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.

网友对What If? (International edition): Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions的评论

what if,一个简短而又有力的词，看似无关紧要却拥有改变世界的力量。这本书让我明白了脑洞原来可以大到这种程度。虽然很多内容的推理并不严谨但却充满想象力和灵感。

12月6日下单，当时页面和订单都确认有货，且1月16-31日间送抵。1月底我电话客服，得到答复是货品没有问题，库里有的，保证31日前送达，信誓旦旦。2月2日我再次致电客服，经客服与采购部门沟通，回复我保证2月27日前送达，再一次信誓旦旦。3月2日我第三次致电客服，回复的结果是采购说这书目前没有，也不知道什么进货，让我选择撤单。
三次电询期间，我都到美国亚马逊网站查看了，此书有货，且货源充足，价格恒定，14块多美金。我以为这是两家关联公司，卓越这边应该没有进货困难。
这几天我查了当当，京东，淘宝，发现此书国内都有现货，不过价格贵很多；我当初卓越订单的精装版是105元，而今卓越把该书的平装版定价都做到120了。
没想到卓越如此大的国际化电商公司能如此任性地不遵守合约？！我最后提出严正投诉，要与能真正解决问题的人沟通，而不是一次次与不能解决问题的客服做无效协调，等了几个月变成没书看了，并表示“希望通过此事的沟通解决能有利于卓越内部正视信守承诺对于一家企业的重要意义”，客服也答应一天内让负责人联系我。时间过去了，没人睬我。
呵呵，这两天我意识到：卓越是真的采购不到书吗？恐怕是发现原来定价利润太低，就采用这种无为的拖延术逼迫客户撤单吧！否则，别说这么财大气粗的企业，就是做人，既然合约定了何时何价提供货品，就应该千方百计履行承诺，何况国内外的渠道商都有货。
所以，一星评级是给奇葩的卓越的，这本书还是非常值得购买。

我承认我很out，现在才买这本书。。。真的很有趣[鼓掌]

What if? What if I didn't look up and saw your sparkling eyes that afternoon? What if my little moose never see me cry? What if the city stops raining till I die?

书很有趣，！脑洞大开！三星是给亚马逊的，买了才10天从50多块变成9.9？

Unbelievable good!100% scientific answers!It makes me realized that anything you can image you thinks "CRAZY"was actually worked in science!100% remarkable once!

很有意思的一些问题，当然回答更有意思。比如那个化学元素砌墙的问题，似乎被中文版山寨了~~
书里面的语法并不难，（除去那些专业术语）内容很容易理解，加上作者的一些黑色幽默和有趣的配图，还是十分有趣的。
缺点在于，kindle屏幕太小了，看配图好累~~

里面的问题都是很无脑，但是回答却是抱着科学严谨的态度，单词都比较简单，就算不会的单词用kindle也能方便查词，不错，值得推荐！

怎么没有生词提示呢。

有点小的一本书，起码比想象的小。物流挺快的，包装完好无受损，之前没看过原版书，页面发黄，但纸质比较厚，印刷比较清晰，内容还未看，期待～
