(meteorobs) MeteorObs test...Is Hell Endothermic or Exothermic?
Well, there seems to be some folks on this list who thinks they have been
unsubscribed or something? This is a test for all to confirm that they are
getting things from Meteorobs....while your at it...you might want to read
the little ditty below?

IS HELL ENDOTHERMIC OR EXOTHERMIC?
This is a true story. A thermodynamics professor had written a take home
exam
for his graduate students. It had one question: "Is hell exothermic or
endothermic? Support your answer with a proof." Most of the students wrote
proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's law or some variant. One student,
however, wrote the following:
"First, we postulate that if souls exist, they must have some mass. If they
do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls
moving into hell and at what rate are souls 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 souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist
in the world today. Some of these relitions 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 people do not belong to more than one religion, we
can
project that all people and 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 in volume in hell. Boyle's law states
that
in order for the termperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the
ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. So, 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.
Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increse of souls
in
hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freeze's over".
It was not revealed what grade the student received.
