HELL Explained By A Chemistry Student


Hell Explained by a Chemestry Student.

The following is an actual question given on a  University of Arizona chemistry mid term, and an actual answer turned in by a student.  
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, 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. 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."

This student received an A+.

Now you see it: Best visual illusions of 2009 - New Scientist

Interactive Movie - COLOUR DOVE
"If you stare for a long time at a large coloured image and then glance at a white background, you'll see the same image appear, but in its complementary colours. That's because the receptors in the eye that pick up the image's colour have become tired and surrounding receptors that haven't been used take over. While this effect is well-known, Yuval Barkan and Hedva Spitzer from Tel-Aviv University recently demonstrated the first example of a related illusion that causes the background colour to linger in a different part of the image. In the Coloured Dove illusion (see below), a white dove appears on a coloured background. When the background is switched to white, the dove takes on a paler version of the original surrounding colour. The team hasn't yet figured out exactly why this happens. One theory is that the dove has actually taken on the background's complementary colour from the beginning, although we fail to perceive it until the background colour disappears."

Interactive Movie -CURBALL - by Arthur Shapiro
"If you look directly at the "spinning" ball in this illusion by Arthur Shapiro, it appears to fall straight down. But if you look to one side, the ball appears to curve to one side. The ball appears to swerve because our peripheral vision system cannot process all of its features independently. Instead, our brains combine the downward motion of the ball and its leftward spin to create the impression of a curve. Line-of-sight (or foveal) vision, on the other hand, can extract all the information from the ball's movement, which is why the curve disappears when you view the ball dead-on."



CONTRAST COLOUR
"If you stare at this rotating circle, you should see three concentric circles: pink, blue and green. But when the circle stops moving, you can see that the arcs that create these circles are actually all black."
