Will Hell freeze over?

The Thermodynamics of Hell

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term exam. 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 students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up 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 that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving.

I think that we can safely assume 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. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there are 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. Of course, 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 still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.

The student received the only “A” given.

Dante already said the the lower rings of hell were colder. the worse you were the lower you go and the colder it gets.

lets say that buddhism or popular hinduism is the 'right' religion, they dont have a hell so hell wouldnt exist and therefore, this guy is just a rambling fool

i hear that irkustk natives believe that hell is the area of most coldness.

'when i first heard them, i was like 'oh my dad''-jesus

I think i'm going crazy...

 
Who's to say that those are the 'right' religions though? Mad props to this guy. Definetely not a rambling fool.

who's to say that hell is hot or cold? nobody has gone there and come back to tell us what it's like.

what kind of teachers gives 'a's' on chemistry exams? Shouldn't there be like a percentage or something? Like a math test?

that is the most amazing answer ever, i heard sumthing like that a while back

There was this student and for his writing final they had 2 hours to answer the questioin that was to be written on the board by the teacher. The question was:

Why?

So as everyone starts thinking this kid puts 'why not?' turns it in and leaves and he got the only A, and saved 2 hours of his life.

wow

hoked on foniks wurked fur me.kant u tel?

jigga say wha??
