Replying to Hell Explained by a Chemistry Student

THIS IS AN EMAIL I GOT FROM MY DAD

Hell explained by a 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 < BR>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 temperatu re 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 th an 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."


THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"?
