All of us have wondered "What if?" about one topic or another at some point in our lives. Randall Munroe of xkcd comics has a new book that answers many of the questions submitted to him, including what would happen if you threw a baseball at 90% of the speed of light. The book is entertaining (my husband and I listened to the first half on our drive to see Neil deGrasse Tyson), and the is worth a listen. Science Friday interview

The interview on SCIFRI was pretty interesting! I listened to it over the weekend... Now I have to get the new "what if" book! Some of the questions Randall is asked are pretty crazy... And, most of the things asked (if they were to happen) result in mankind, the Earth or a small part of each being destroyed! :) I would recommend at least listening to the interview, even if you don't enjoy science, you would still probably find it interesting!
