fyi : pertanyaan ini pernah di ajukan dalam UTS di sebuah universitas
di amerika. dan ini adalah jawaban dari seorang mahasiswanya. selamat
menikmati ;p
Is Hell exothermic or endothermic?
Hell from an engineering approach
The following is an actual question given on a University of
Washington engineering mid term. The answer was so profound that the
Professor shared it with colleagues, which is 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 off when it expands and heats up 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 that souls are moving into Hell and the
rate 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. 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 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 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. Of course, 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
Banyan 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 still
have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2
cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will
not freeze."
