I get a lot of strange hypothetical science questions in my email. People get in debates with their friends – stuff like “what would happen if someone threw a baseball at nearly the speed of light?” or “how many velociraptors would it take to kill [fictional creature]” – and for whatever reason, they decide to email me about it. Puzzling over these questions is a lot of fun, and so I’ve decided to set up a blog to collect and try to answer them.

You can find it at what-if.xkcd.com. I’ll put up a new question and answer every Tuesday. To start things off, I’ve got two entries disucssing questions I’ve received-one about relativistic baseball and one about guessing on the SAT.

Ebbene sì, il vostro webcomic preferito apre una sorta di rubrica sulle pippe mentali che ogni santo giorno tutti noi ci facciamo, spiegandole con metodo e con i disegni di Randall che ci piacciono tanto.

Per esempio il primo articolo ci spiega cosa succederebbe se una palla da baseball venisse lanciata ad una velocità prossima a quella della luce, sapevatelo.

Insomma una nerdata totale ogni martedì.
