Join for what is sure to be the most fun-filled hour of the day as we chat online with Randall Munroe about his new book "What If? 2: Additional Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions."
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.
Filled with bonkers science, boundless curiosity, and Randall’s signature stick-figure comics, What if? 2 provides his best answers yet to the weirdest questions you never thought to ask.
The fun begins at 1pm on Tuesday, January 31st. Please register at https://libraryc.org/cclsys on our online calendar to take part.
