Bonus question...
Categories :
Ok... I feel I have to share this with you guys (assuming more than one person reads this thing... lol... well, Helena, Babi, I know you girls do... but would it kill you to leave a comment??? just kidding... thanks for reading lol and btw, thanks to Vivi and SquareDevil who actually did leave comments...)
WOW! long parenthesis... will I ever be able to be short and sweet?? lol
Well, The following is an actual question given on a University ofWashington chemistry midterm. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, and now I do my part as a web surfer and spread it around... lol
ENJOY!!!!
"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 somevariant.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 atwhich they are leaving.I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, itwill not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the differentReligions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions statethat if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Sincethere is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong tomore 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 ofsouls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change ofthe volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for thetemperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has toexpand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which soulsenter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until allHell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the rate at which soulsenter Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezesover.
So which is it?If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa, (Cheerleader Captainand Class Valedictorian) during my Freshman year that, "it will be a coldday in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that Islept with her last night and again this morning, then number 2must 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, itfollows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,extinct...leaving only Heaven, and thereby proving the existence of adivine being which explains why, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!!!"
"THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A." - and let's agree people.. well deserved... lol
