The Question:
Is hell exothermic or endothermic?
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term. 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:
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools 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 at which souls are moving into hell and the rate at which 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's look at the different religions that exist 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 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'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. 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 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...... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting, "Oh my God."

exothermic or endothermic is not the matter , as we know energy change from a form to another.. if the hell is too hot, it will definitely transfer to another form to cool down the hell, if it is too cool surely another form of energy will be insert to the hell to balance it. so the hell is full of soul which is a kind of energy that might convert into different form...
tat is why we say soul is exist, sometime they can manipulate our mind as they can convert into nerve impulse.. beside tat those soul which go to hell is tat soul which unable to maintain their current form in the world which is full of differnet energy transformation.. if one who die with anger, their soul is fill with energy to revenge, this will enable them to continue exist in the world with the wish to revenge. once they revenge succcessfull , their anger is no more exist and their concentrated energy will then released and go to hell which is a low energy area..we at the world as high energy area..
ermm... then how you explain heaven? A more higher energy level? But hell is heater than earth and earth is heater than heaven so that hell should contain more energy than earth does and earth should contain more energy than heaven does. In that way, heaven have less souls than earth, and hell have more souls that earth.
If you define that hell is a place with lower energy level. Earth is high energy level than hell, so that whom soul seeking for revenge will remain in earth, then how about heaven? Which kind of soul will go to heaven?
oh well you like to debate with others bout these things don't you.
We will never knoe the answer =) however I do know that I do not want to go to hell. Hell is as real as the air we breathe.
Can you see the wind?
"No"
Can you feel the effects of the wind?
"Yes"
Then there is wind, right?
"Yes"
Therefore, hell is real. So is heaven. And so is an Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth.

*know... not knoe. spelling error.

To be precise we did see the wind, only it is out of our ability to see something too tiny which is a mixture of containing majority nitrogen and oxygen with some other gases and particles.
We feel the wind, when it come to our sense. We sense something we cannot see hitting on our body.
To conclude your words, god is exist with our sense of living, so does the legend of Heaven, Earth and Hell.
