What Hell really is.

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:

Quote:
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.'




he got an A+

I pick.. there is no hell? No wait.. then I wouldn't have a job.

oh snap XD beautiful XD


but i go with rotting in the ground FTW when i die XD

i didnt read it cuz i dont care but if i did i would go with sandwiches

Wow, that's an awsome answer. I should use that in my philosophy paper somewhere. it goes along with the question "Can God create a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it himself"

i like sandwiches.

basically the same answer as "can god create a wall so high that not even he can climb it"

and if we were to break this into properties of physics based on earth, that would not be possible because a) he can lift the earth, and any stone that weighs more than the earth would essentially crush the planet, and b) there isnt enough resources on earth to make a bridge to the moon, let alone make a wall high enough that god can't jump over.

however, if he isnt limited to the earth, then he probably would be able to do both things.

My answer is C.. the magical figment of silly peoples' imaginations cannot create anything. I mean really.. when was the last time your imaginary friend actually effected anything.

you think i care?
i probably dont know her irl, probably will never meet her irl, and she probably doesnt want anything to do with a guy who's going to be making games for a living, playing DnD every saturday, and watches anime like a religion.

but if god can;t create it then he is not all powerful, thus proving that there is no God or just not in the way that we believe there to be.

i like anime, never played dnd, but i have a treehouse full of fantasy books.

haha anime gives you +5 to girlproof.
Also if you asked God to make a rock or wall too heavy\tall, I think he'd smite you as a warning to the other heathens.

Ceiling Cat will save me from the wrath of God.

Did u know that a christian scientist used the bible to determine how old the world was and came to the conclusion that the world was created in January of 4000BC, I can't remember the exact date, but yeah.. I watched a big documentry on it and they took everything in the bible and used it to track back to the date of when 'god' created the world. Thus by believing in a 'god' you MUST believe the earth is only 6000 years old.

No if you believe in the bible you must believe the earth is only 6000 years old. Believing in a higher power, lets call him God, does not mean that you should believe in the bible. besides the bible was written by Constantine and a bunch of political ass kissers. Thousands of pages were left out because it didn;t fit nicely into the story, so they left it out and made Jesus into a perfect person. There are also many believers that think those years that there is no record of Jesus that he made a pilgramige to India to study with Budda, and that is why there are many of the same values in Buddisms and Christianity.

i better go to hell, fucking hate the cold. god sucks too. look at your weekend lives! its based in sin, so sin is fun. so the devil must be fucking awesome.

^ has a point

lets go into the whole heaven and hell struggle. Satan used to be like an angel or he was in heaven but then he tryed to take it over and was banished and stuff. so basically satan was kicked out of heaven for thinking of his own. is mankind more like god or satan then? satan rules. if he only exisited ..

Ceiling cat loves all, we must all fight the temptations of basement cat. That's why I believe in mainly Karma, you screw ppl and bad things will happen to you, do good and good things will happen to you.

I believe in Karma as well.. I don't think i've ever seen basement cat though..

I Believe Karma is just another excuse for people to blame shit on XD
