Scientific Explanation of Hell

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, (Cheerleader Captain and

Class Valedictorian,) 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 and again this morning, 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, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!!!"

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

lol mae...buenisimo....al chile que solo ese mae se merecia la A!!

JAJAJAJA muy bueno jaja

La mejor respusta que he visto en mi vida

odio ponerme a traducir...

Pero ta bueno

Ese mae es un titan

Se saco buenas notas, se va para el cielo y se mando al Porrista

LOLON!!!!

omg! ese mae se llevo la vaquita de oro !!!

GJ !!!

Jajajaj... la vaquita de oro

Esta genial..... que mae mas bicho....demostró de forma técnica y científica que hasta la respuesta más absurda suena bien si se dice de forma correcta .... ademas de q se queda con la chick
