Thermodynamics of Hell

[Mher]

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, then 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, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions 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 temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.

Thus, there are 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, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.

If we accept the postulate given to me by a young lady during my first year, "It will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you", then number 2 above is not true and so Hell is exothermic.

 

I belive i'll have a drink:)

 

hello fellow Armenin's and guests

Nice to be here

regards to you All

Welcome aboard Mher. Interesting Poll you setup there.

[Azat]

Welcome to HyeForum Mher. Great post.

 

BTW: All young women tell me "It will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you".

 

So I am sure Hell is exothermic as stated by that student.

I'll drink to that too. Would Jermuk put that fire out?

Nice to see you, Aryudz Mher!

Barov es ekel! This is where we roast people over the "fire and brimstone of hell".

You don't know what hell is until you get a taste of "haykakan dzhokhq", aka HyForum.

If I only new what THE HELL you're talking about! Don't mind me. I like playing with words, yet sometimes I have no idea WHAT THE HELL I AM TALKING about.

I don't know if there was a concept of hell in Armenian mythology. Who the HELL cares when one lives in the original heaven known as Garden of Eden. The hell with those who taught us about Hell. Who the hell needs them!!??

For further info find and read Newsweek of August 11.

It is good to have some people with a "hell-thy" sense of humor.

You, we, all of as, are the devil, the god, and everything in between

 

In the absence of HELL

There would be no HAVEN

 

Nice post Mher jan:))))

Hey, Mher, and everybody..

 

"One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass."

 

Nice!.. What if the souls exist only in the form of waves?(electro-soul-magnetic

 

"So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving?"

 

How about the reflections? And we do not have any information about the hell doors.. What are the properties of those doors?? Are they just opening and closing at some fixed times or what?... And if the nature of the soul is quantum then we may observe tunelling into the hell even if the doors stay closed

 

"I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving."

 

hell, this is stronger! Soooo, once it gets there, startes going back and forth forever.MMmmmmm... Maybe of the properties of the doors is that inside it has 100% reflectivity?

 

 

"With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially."

 

Weeeeeeell, if they are waves then there should be interference effects..

 

Mmmmmmmmm, it seems to me that the question of the professor was not correctly stated since the nature of the soul was not known... Did this guy have some proof whether the souls is a substance?

Dear Vahan,

 

Since the soles must be stored in hell ( ha ha ... guess where this is going! ), they must be converted to binary. If we assume that no two soles are identical, then we must conclude that new bits of information must be added to hell. This conclusion holds under arbitrary (even optimal) compression schemes.

 

Since sole streams are continuously entering hell, any compression scheme used must be adaptive and "on-line". Even if we assume that Hell has complete knowledge of the arrival orders of the different soles, it cannot achieve optimum compression due to finite storage.

 

Since hell has finite storage, and since optimum compression cannot be achieved under these conditions, then Hell storage space must continue to expand as more soles enter it.

Great, Sip!!!

 

"Since the soles must be stored in hell ( ha ha ... guess where this is going! ), they must be converted to binary."

 

aaaaaaaaa, yeah, but this a very brave assumption that the souls should be stored there.You know, it is in contradiction with all the religious theories...

 

"If we assume that no two soles are identical, then we must conclude that new bits of information must be added to hell."

 

aaaaaaaa. this is one more assumption that they are not identical.

 

"This conclusion holds under arbitrary (even optimal) compression schemes.

 

Since sole streams are continuously entering hell, any compression scheme used must be adaptive and "on-line". Even if we assume that Hell has complete knowledge of the arrival orders of the different soles, it cannot achieve optimum compression due to finite storage."

 

yeah, but here is one more assumption that the hell has finite volume..:)What if it is infinite - come to me everybody,I can hold you all.. , the hell may say.

 

"Since hell has finite storage, and since optimum compression cannot be achieved under these conditions, then Hell storage space must continue to expand as more soles enter it."

 

Aha, you mean it may be like an expansion to infinity? A good point...
