I got this e-mail today from a friend of mine and I wanted you guys to share it. A little long, but definitly worth it......
The following is an actual question given on the University of Washington's Chemistry mid-term. The answer from one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is, of course, why we have the pleasure of sharing it now.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs on their beliefs using Boyle's law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it's compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass in Hell is changing over time. So we need to know the rate that sould are moving into Hell, and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul goes to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, lets look at the different Religions 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 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 can expect the number of souls to increase exponentially. Now we look at the rate of change in volume of 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 proportionally 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 then the increase of the amount of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Theresa my freshman year that "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and taken into account that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not excepting any more souls, and is, therefore, extinct....leaving only Heaven. Thereby proving the existance of a devine being, which expains why last night, Theresa kept shouting "Oh My God".
This student received the only A.

However it came about, it made me laugh.
So I thought I'd share. |
