    The Hell

    General question: Do you believe in hell ?


    Anyway, the following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term. The answer was so "profound" that the Professor shared it with colleagues, and the sharing obviously hasn't ceased...

    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 off 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 that souls are moving into Hell and the rate 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 us 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 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 Banyan 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."
    This student received the only A.

    lol very cool, that man deserves to get laid... but then, if he did get laid, especially by that girl, his answer would be wrong and he would have to recieve an F... damn, what a pickle :fear:

    "There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?"
    .Halo.

    Y'know... if you were any stupider, I swear death by laughter would be a real medical occurance.

        What would you want more? To be the only person who got an "A" or slept with the girl?

        That was pretty funny.

          If someone could neatly explain to me that would be cool

          After one year I never understood entropy

            After 11 years of mathematics, I still never understood anything.

              Yes, let's take this joke and turn it into an uninteresting science discussion.

              Exothermic reactions gives off heat (e.g. combusion).

              Endothermic reactions absorb (require) heat (e.g. ice cube melting)

              Is that correct? Because the joke says hell is exothermic and will not freeze but a hell that is in the process of freezing I thought IS exothermic. (Changing from liquid->solid involves taking away heat.)

              Entropy is a measure of "randomness" or lack of ability to do work in a closed system. E.g. blocks laying on the floor=high entropy, blocks stacked up=lower entropy. The stacked blocks have potential energy that can turn into kinetic energy (falling) and noise (banging on the floor, etc). Entropy is also the term to describe the natural tendency for things to move to a random state (2nd law of thermodynamics).

              Exothermic reactions increase the entropy of a system. E.g. explosions are exothermic and increase the messiness of my room.

                A better question would be: Do you believe in the devil?

                edit: wouldn't it suck if hell was located somewhere on the sun or something?

                  Entropy isn't a measure of "randomness," it's a measure of available microstates for molecules

                              I'll let you guys know all about hell as soon as I get there.
