The Situation in Hell

The following is supposedly 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.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

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 go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went out 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 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."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A."

POEMS

Power Of Will

You cannot stop me now,
this warrior will never bow.

This battle I will see to the end,
and it is your Will that will bend.

I promised I would never give in,
I promised Him I would win.

Vengeance

You have taken from beneath me,
the very thing that made me free.

I gave you my life,
and you filled it with strife.

The path you took was wrong and cruel,
so here we fight the final duel.

Manga/Anime

Here’s how I see it:

1990s Era – Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball
Early 2000s Era – Inu Yasha, Hunter x Hunter, One Piece
Late 2000s, Early 2010s Era – Bleach, One Piece, Naruto

The current era doesn’t seem to have a suitable replacement for Naruto. Well, I lied. There are some: Fairy Tail, Toriko, and Shingeki no Kyojin. But they each have their own problems and obstacles, at the moment. I don’t think any of them could really dominate as their predecessors had. At only six chapters, it’s too early to tell what Boku no Hero Academia will become in the future.
