Randall Munroe : Comics that ask "what if?"


Randall Munroe·TED2014
Comics that ask “what if?”
Summary
My friends recommended me a book that was “What if?” written in Japanese language, I thought that the writer might introduce the book, it was a great hit, thus l chose this.


The speaker seems to be a Web cartoonist, but his cartoon is a simple stick figure. He answers simple what-if questions by using math, science and, of course, cute comics.

What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent of the speed of light?
What is the best and fastest way to hide a body scientifically and realistically?
Prove whether or not you can find love again after your heart’s broken.
If all digital data in the world were stored on punch cards, how big would Google’s data warehouse be?

I think that people have a lot of strange questions, but it’s important to have an interest in many things, however, is it helpful to know those answers?
Yes, the speaker said that it’s really comfortable, fun, the math is not all that advanced and it’s like nothing more than solving Sudoku puzzle. What?

I really loved Sudoku puzzle and Sudoku is a Japanese word!! I might enable calculating those, l now have a computer thus if l guess some formulas, l must be able to do. What?

It’s not whether it’s helpful or not. It’s really fun to be able to solve and know about something that we don’t know that’s very surprising mathematically, scientifically and earnestly. The speaker’s simple stick figures must really help it also and the reason that he became famous must be an answer from Google.

Google sent the speaker the answer of punch cards by using punch cards puzzled but coded and the answer was “No comment”. Google has humor always!!

However, having the most full of humor must be the speaker who answers the question of how big Google’s data warehouse would be by using glaciers.
