The title says it all. This books presents serious answers to plenty of absurd questions. What if the earth were a giant eyeball? What if it rained gumdrops and lemon drops? How about a lava lamp made of lava? These and many other questions are answered with science as well as humor, complete with illustrations. In the process, you slyly get a better understanding of Newtonian and relativistic physics as well as many other bits of science. Most of the questions are answered with a few pages of detail. There are many "quick sections" where questions are presented without detailed answers. It is tough to decide whether I should feel guilty for escapism or happy that I learned a lot.
