So if you know me, know me, you know I like weird knowledge books. The book, What If: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe is just one of those books. I loved it. I listened to it as an audio book, so I lost some of the math element that I could have worked better seeing it written out.
My favorite sections are the "disturbing questions" that have been submitted. I think my favorite one was how cold would your teeth have to be to shatter upon drinking a cup of hot coffee. His response was: "thanks for my new re-occurring nightmare." That reminded me of a friend that has a re-occurring nightmare of all their teeth being pulled out by gum.
This is just a great book of odd knowledge and math. I like math but I'm not good at science. I never took physics. I probably would have struggled but ultimately liked it. Just, if you're a nerd, you should probably check this book out sometime.
