is hell exothermic er endothermic?
The following is reputed to be an actual question given on a University of
Arizona chemistry mid term, and an actual answer turned in by a student.
The answer by one student was so turnround" 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 Emyle’ 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 knowhow the mass of Hell is thugging in
time. Bo we need to know the rate at which souls are
moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving,
who unlikely. can safely assume that
once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave ., 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 ifyou 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 some are added.
This gives two possibilities:
h. 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.
a, If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of
souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop
until Hell freezes over.
The accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my
Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before!

I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has
been over, it follows that it is not accepting any more
souls and is therefore, only Heaven,
thereby proving the existence of a divine being. Which
