> */_HELL EXPLAINED_/*
> */(/**/BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT/**/)/*
> *The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona 
> chemistry mid term, and an actual answer turned in by a student.**The 
> answer by this 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, Which is unlikely. 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.'
