Nubus November 18, 2004 Share Nubus Member November 18, 2004 >Is Hell Exothermic or Endothermic???? >> >>The following is supposedly an actual question given on a >>University of Washington chemistry mid-term. 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 increase of souls >>in 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 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, >>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, thereby proving the existence of a >>divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting >>"Oh my God." >> >>THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
