Generally speaking. Would you say hell is endothermic or exothermic?

Question

According to the laws of Physics, would you say that hell absorves heat or gives up heat. What is your perception about this subject?

I guess there are a few extremely good answers. I wouldn't want to dissappoint anyone. Any way, you know that hell will eventually freeze over!

Answer 1

Endothermic... like a great big black hole.
I just like the image of hell as a black hole.

Answer 2

Hell is where an system arrives at afer infinite exothermic reactions. It is a theoretical state where energy has evened out over all space. The average is very cold.
Life is endothermic taking energy from its surroundings and creating a lower level entropic system. Most of the enrgy absorbed is given back to the surroundings at a higher entropic state. Sometimes we take energy but dont produce anything physical. It takes energy to increase Compexity. To create a work of art, to contemplate a new theory, to improve on that foriegn language - all takes energy. The energy moves not to the form of matter (e=mc^2) but to complexity (dont know the formula)
Entropy is key here as most systems partake in both endothermic and exothermic reactions.
We, human systems, achive a high level of complexity. A low entropic state, and we are long way from hell. Our purpose as life systems is to move to the lower entopic state. Against the tide. "Onwards and upwards"

Answer 3

I Think It Is Exothermic Because I Am Sure Hell Produces Heat,

Answer 4

Technically it is both, but for our purposes it must be considered endothermic. Hell is formed by taking in souls. When people die (or, to use the medical term, "croak") their bodies no longer generate the heat from activity and become cold. Therefore hell is endothermic because it absorbs the heat from the world when we croak. However we have already established in the second answer that hell is not expanding at the same rate at which it absorbs souls. (In this sense hell is a catalyst, because bodies warm the earth whereas souls warm hell.) Therefore if hell is becoming hotter, it must be giving off heat and is exothermic. However - this brings us to an important third consideration. Our environment is warmed by many things, but we are not generally warmed by the fires of hell. The reason? Rather using the generated heat to warm everyone else, hell management instead recycles this generated heat in order to keep the pitchforks and pokers nice and toasty for use on the rear-ends of the very very naughty! As more of these "uber-naughty" souls arrive, more red-hot branding-irons are required. So although hell is technically both exo and endo-thermic, from an external perspective it is only endothermic. This could change dramatically, if there were less or more extremely naughty people going to hell, compared to the only slightly naughty. One could lead to an excess of heat. Hell management might choose to address this by adding more punishments to the less naughty. The other situation could indeed lead to a radical drop in temperature, possibly even a hard freeze, resulting in a lot of lucky guys here on earth.

Answer 5

I believe that is both. When something has been static for so long, it must have some kind of regulating force. The sum of the souls being trapped into hell, will be proportional to the pressure that they will generate, therefore increasing heat somehow. However, to prevent an explosion, the ability to expand must be eternal, or in the event that souls are tiny particles that would only occupy nanographic proportions, it would not matter. Where does the energy comes from? It should be Endothermic too. Consumption of Energy entering therefore preventing the pressure to override the system. E(hell)= m(souls) x (change in Temperature°C) x (change in pressure)/ STP (hell) x ­µ ; µ=constant factor.

Answer 6

That would suggest that you believe in the concept of Heaven and Hell, and that they exist in a place or dimension seperate to that in which we exist. There are some who believe that life on Earth is Hell and that when one dies one is either reborn and returns to Hell or passes over and goes to Heaven. If one believes in this concept and that the Earth is in fact Hell then it is Endothermic - because the Earth is warming up currently. However it can also be Exothermic because the Earth cools down and enters periods known as Ice-ages.
Personally I neither believe nor disbelieve in the concept of Hell so I'm not bothered.

Answer 7

Generally speaking, Hell is exothermic. That's where volcanos come from. When Hell gets full of sinners, the earth burps. So there you go.

Answer 8

I was given this as an answer to this question by a mate on the web
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 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."

Answer 9

I think if there were an intelligent God, he would make souls bosons. Bosons are these particles that do not follow Pauli's exclusion principle, i.e. they are massless and they do not occupy any space. Bosons can clump together without limit; squeezing inside the smallest space, there is always room for more. Bosons are bottomless pit. Photon is an example of bosons.

That makes a terribly neat solution. That way, hell can accomodate the millions of atheists, agnostics, and would be Richard Dawkins without having to worry about overpopulation.

Answer 10

One persons hell is not the same as another persons hell. We are led to believe that hell is where you burn, and so one would imagine it is exothermic if the laws of physics applied.

However, imagine a place where the law as you understand it does not apply. Would that be heaven or hell?

It is difficult to imagine hell as anything but energy draining, and heaven as a place where you recharge your batteries so to speak.

On balance therefore, in the metaphorical sense, hell would have to be exothermic in my opinion.

Answer 11

Endothermic and exothermic refer to the amount of heat absorbed or emitted by the chemical reations of the reactants. So here it is heat that is refered to.
Hell is basically a place of mercy because those who go there could not stand before their Creator. So a special place is reserved for them. In that place what burns in their soul is rage & meaness just like a fire burns a combustible substance. So Hell is likened into a fire. However, it has nothing to do with Heat which is the flow of micromasses in the form of radiation power.

Any other concepts are purely speculative.So it behoves us to understand What our Creator is talking about in HIs Book.And we should be carefull how we scientifically look at it.
