Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?


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, which is unlikely. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. There fore, 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 two 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.’

    Salut à tous les membres de ce forum ,

    Premièrement, permettez-moi de vous montrer mon appréciation pour chacune des très intéressantes informations que j’ai lues sur cet imposant site.

    Je ne suis pas certaine d’être au meilleur endroit mais je n’en ai pas trouvé de meilleur.

    Je proviens de Blenheim, usa. J’ai 47 ans et j’élève 4 super enfants qui sont tous âgés entre sept et 11 ans (1 est adopté). J’adore beaucoup les animaux et j’essaie de leur donner les articles qui leur rendent l’existance plus splendide.

    Merci dès maintenant pour toutes les très pertinentes débats qui suivront et je vous remercie surtout de votre compassion pour mon français moins qu’idéal : ma langue de naissance est l’anglais et j’essaie d’apprendre mais c’est très complexe !

    A plus tard

    Give it up, godbots. Facts plus logic=WIN!
    Formally speaking, Epicurus blew all religions out of the water.
    Everything after that is a footnote.
    All religions are belief systems for sheeple herding and “tithing” to the
    benefit of the priest class.
    It all would be funny if it were not so serious!

    1. It would be funny if so many fuckers didn’t believe in it and want to bring an end to the world.
      Those who believe in Armageddon should be considered Domestic Terrorists.
