HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

 

 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 slowe

Bow  Anything less than an A+ and the professor should have lost tenure.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
