hihi!!

I just came across this while studying for a test. The following was taken out from the first slide of one of the lectures. it is totally irrelavant (since the subject is international relations) but is quite cool and interesting. wish i had attended the lecture instead of reading the slides 4 weeks too late, wonder what my lecturer had to say about it. cool guy haha.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• Following is question in Uni. of Washington chemistry exam. Answer by one student was so “profound" that lecturer shared it with colleagues.
  
• “Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?”
  Most students answered using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands & heats when compressed). One student wrote the following:
  
• First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know rate at which souls are entering Hell & rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can 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 world’s religions. Most state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
  
• Since there is more than one religion & since people only belong to one, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth & death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
  
• Now, look at rate of change of volume in Hell - Boyle states that for temperature & pressure in Hell to stay the same, volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
  
• This gives two possibilities:
  
• If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature & pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
  
• If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature & 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", & take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, & thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
• Corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls & 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 was the only student to receive an HD
