He's right. If you do a traceroute to just about anything, you'll see
that 25 hops is ample. When it takes more than 25 hops, it's getting

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
This is obviously impossible.
