Staff Pick: What If?

What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munrow is a book that has all the answer to quite a few very pressing questions.

Written by a former scientist for NASA, What If? keeps itself firmly in the Venn circles of scientific and hilarious. The first question that I heard from the book was "What would happen if I strapped a C4 to a boomerang?"

Other questions deal with the speed of light, vast quantities of rodents, lots of laser pointers, the energy worth of Yoda, and just about anything else you've ever wanted to know about science but have never thought to ask.
