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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n This gives two possibilities: So which is it?

\nThe answer by one student was so \u2018profound\u2019 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.<\/p>\nBonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic(absorbs heat)?<\/h2>\n
\nFirst, 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 and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.<\/p>\n\n
\n1. 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.
\n2. 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nIf we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, \u2018It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,\u2019 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 \u2026 leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting \u2018Oh my God.<\/p>\n
