Scientific Explanation of Hell
>
> The following is an actual question given on a University of
Washington
> chemistry midterm. The answer by one student was so "profound" that
the
> professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of
> course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
> Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
> (absorbs heat)?
> Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law
> (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some
> variant.
> One student, however, wrote the following:
>
> First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So
we
> need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the
rate
> at which they are leaving.
> I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it
will
> not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
> As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different
> Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions
state
> that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
> Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do
not
> belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to
> Hell.
> With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of
> souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of
> change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order
> for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume
of
> Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
> This gives two possibilities:
> 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls
> enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
> until all Hell breaks loose.
> 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the rate at which souls
> enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell
> freezes over.
> So which is it?
> If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa, (Cheerleader
Captain
> and Class Valedictorian) during my Freshman year that, "it will be a
> cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the
> fact that I slept with her last night and again this morning, then
> number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and
> has already frozen over.
> The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it
> follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
> extinct...leaving only Heaven, and thereby proving the existence of a
> divine being which explains why, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!!!"
>
> THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A."
