About the Book

Un libro en el que el humor y la ciencia se unen para dar explicación a todo tipo de preguntas curio ¡Ey! Gracias por fijarte en mi libro. Si estás pensando en comprarlo hay dos cosas que no tendrías por qué saber pero que quiero contarte por si finalmente no te gusta y decides darle otro uso: - Los humanos no podemos digerir el papel de celulosa, pero en caso de que pudiéramos, si decidieras comerte este libro engordarías 2.300 calorías -¡incluida la cubierta, claro! - Si tienes un buen brazo, podrías lanzar este libro a más de 13 metros. Con práctica es posible llegar a lanzar un libro cada 800 milisegundos, lo que significa que si un agresor te estuviera persiguiendo, podrías tener tres o cuatro oportunidades de golpearlo antes de que te alcanzara. Si en cambio el ataque fuera por parte de un coyote que corre a la máxima velocidad que puede, solo tendrías una oportunidad. ¡Apunta bien! ¿Qué pasaría si...? es un libro de divulgación científica en el que se recopilan algunos de los mejores posts así como otros nuevos elaborados a partir de las preguntas del blog de Randall Munroe, en el que responde a los lectores haciendo uso de sus conocimientos científicos y matemáticos. Munroe fue físico en la NASA antes de crear la web www.xkcd, que ha recibido más de un millón de visitas. Este es un libro original, inteligente y con mucho humor. * N°1 en la lista de más vendidos de The New York Times durante meses. * Mejor libro de 2014 según la revista People. * Entre los 10 mejores libros de no ficción según la revista Time. Reseñas: «Munroe piensa que analizar una broma es como diseccionar una rana, puede hacerse pero la rana acaba por morir». The New York Times «Trata de analizar la clase de maravillas y de fantasías hipotéticas que podrían surgir en una conversación de bar». The Atlantic «Este libro es una buena combinación de diversión y una clase magistral de tal razonamiento. Como en todas las buenas lecciones, solo te das cuenta de que has aprendido algo una vez que se ha terminado». The Economist «Munroe se ha convertido en algo así como un héroe de culto». The New York Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd.com, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.
About the Author: Randall Munroe, antiguo empleado de la NASA, es el creador de la web xkcd, con más de un millón de visitas y autor de xkcd: volumen 0 y de ¿Qué pasaría si...? La Unión Astronómica Internacional ha bautizado recientemente un asteroide con su nombre; el asteroide 4942 Munroe es lo bastante grande como para causar la extinción de la humanidad si chocara contra la Tierra. Randall vive en Cambridge, Massachusetts.
