About this content
What If? 2 (2022) is Randall Munroe’s follow-up to the New York Times best-selling What If? Like its predecessor, it comprises Munroe’s serious scientific answers to the absurd, funny, and whimsical questions submitted to him by readers, ranging from “How big would a snowball be if rolled from the top of Mt. Everest to the bottom?” to “Could a person eat a cloud?”
About the author
Randall Munroe trained as a physicist and worked building robots at one of NASA’s research labs before quitting to focus full-time on his wildly successful webcomic xkcd, a tongue-in-cheek take on subjects including science, math, computer programming, and internet culture.
