Randall Munroe – Lightspeed Fastballs and Loving Math

copyright Randall Munroe The name may not ring a bell, but his xkcd does.

Randall Munroe gave a TED Talk earlier this year that starts with a realistic look at a baseball moving at 90% the speed of light, and ends with a wonderful explanation how the love of math is a good thing.

The talk springs out of Munroe’s must read What If? series of webcomics in which he answers questions from readers.

And remember – an exabyte is 1 million terabytes or 1 billion gigabytes.
