HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
> The following is an actual question given on 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

> With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number 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

> 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

> THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.
