Randall Munroe left NASA in 2005 to start up his hugely popular site XKCD ‘a web comic of romance, sarcasm, math and language’ which offers a witty take on the world of science and geeks. It’s had over a billion page hits to date. A year ago Munroe set up a new section - What If - where he tackles a series of impossible questions: If your cells suddenly lost the power to divide, how long would you survive? How dangerous is it, really, in a pool in a thunderstorm? If we hooked turbines to people exercising in gyms, how much power could we produce? What if everyone only had one soulmate? From what height would you need to drop a steak to ensure it was cooked by the time it reached the ground? What would happen if the moon went away? This book gathers together the best entries along with lots of new gems. From The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek and the songs of Tim Minchin, through chemistry, geography and physics, Munroe leaves no stone unturned in his quest for knowledge. And his answers are witty and memorable and studded with hilarious cartoons and infographics. Far more than a book for geeks, WHAT IF explains the laws of science in operation in a way that every intelligent reader will enjoy and feel the smarter for having read.

Why do you re-upload older torrents? Are they dead?
April 13th, 2015
I’ve only been uploading books from my personal collection that I bought. I do a quick author search to see if the audiobook is already here, and this one didn’t pop up for me.
I have about 100 people leeching right now from this file, so I guess people want it? I have no idea if there is a dead or living one on here because it didn’t come up on my search.

funny thing is I found them just using “search”

Thanks for the upload. Also nice to see audiobookbay even has trolls(not my sarcastic tone) looking at you migotka21
April 13th, 2015
Don’t worry migotka21. You can just totally ignore my other uploads to. Since you’ve taken such a personal affront to my uploading a book, I’m sure you wouldn’t possibly want any of the others I’ve uploaded.
Not really a “funny thing” btw - I’m pretty sure you are just a douche.
Thanks for your comment Johnb. :) Most people on the internet are just kind of dicks. :(

The different versions of the same book should not be considered re-upload or duplicated upload at all.
The older torrent has 32 Kbps bitrate while this one has higher bitrate (64 Kbps). Some people might actually prefer to download this one due to higher bitrate.

Thanks for the uploads. Love them.
Lot of people on the Internet are entitled assholes who think they deserve nice things just because they were born in this world. Instead of being grateful for things they get, they complain even when things are going great. It’s best to just ignore them.
Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

You are Awesome! I have the older one but this is so much better. Wil Wheaton and 64kbs. Thank You!

Thank you for the upload <3

I have been looking for books exploring ideas delivered in an innovative format.
I have found this book to be oft recommended.
I enjoyed Will Wheaton as Wesley Crusher on TNG, but his politics in his adulthood are often expressed in a highly off putting manner.
But, if Will genuinely enjoys Science, I can support that.
The file downloaded quickly.
The audio quality is excellent.
Thanks to the Seeders and Big thanks to the Uploader.

Can someone please seed? Or share with me? Please. Thanks
