Thank goodness xkcd creator Randall Munroe is here to help. Planning to ride a fire pole from the Moon back to Earth? The hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to cool the atmosphere by opening everyone’s freezer door at the same time? Maybe it’s time for a brief introduction to thermodynamics. Want to know what would happen if you rode a helicopter blade, built a billion-story building, made a lava lamp out of lava, or jumped on a geyser as it erupted? Okay, if you insist. Before you go on a cosmic road trip, feed the residents of New York City to a T. rex, or fill every church with bananas, be sure to consult this practical guide for impractical ideas. Unfazed by absurdity, Munroe consults the latest research on everything from swing-set physics to airliner catapult–design to answer his readers’ questions, clearly and concisely, with illuminating and occasionally terrifying illustrations. As he consistently demonstrates, you can learn a lot from examining how the world might work in very specific extreme circumstances. ---------- Sign up for the Penguin Random House newsletter to get more videos like this and tailored book recommendations: http://bit.ly/2k9u67A Subscribe to PRH:    / @penguinrandomhouse   PRH on Facebook:   / penguinrandomhouse   PRH on Twitter:   / penguinrandom   PRH on Tumblr:   / penguinrandomhouse   PRH on Instagram:   / penguinrandomhouse   PRH on Pinterest:   / penguinrandom   TAGS #RandallMunroe #xkcd
