I was tagged in this awesome note!!!

fellow science geek Austin lol tagged me in this note on whether hell was exothermic or endothermic? Before reading the note i thought hmmm.... i think hell is endothermic. Because to me the concept of hell doesnt necessarily state the heat is given off-- definition of exothermic lol So if hell IS hot then the surroundings r cold-- who wants to actually go to hell to measure a temp... i'l just stand at the gates and get a reading thank u. Maybe hell is under the ice caps. The increased traffic of souls entering hell has allowed heat to escape... melting glaciers and ish lol... global warming my ass lol... lets blame the heathens...
Anywho here is it... thank Austin lol:

The following is 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 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."
