The Balance of Souls

[ZegeunerLeben 0]

>>Across eternity, humans have been living and diying according to god's laws, and their souls have been distributed accordingly to heaven and hell. Where do you think the weight of souls lies? Is the impetus in heaven or in hell?

[beowulf 1]

Neither. Those people have ceased to exist. We have no evidence to the contrary.

>Is the impetus in heaven or in hell?

An excellent answer by a thermo student:

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 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, 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, then 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 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. Two options exist:

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 quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, "that it will be a cold night 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 Option 2 cannot be true...Thus, hell is exothermic.

Mostly on the butt, just below all the Big Macs.

it is a loaded question to start with...

Since the majority of humanity is not/has never been Christian and Heaven and Hell are Christian Concepts.. if that 'view' "prevails" the majority of souls would be in Hell... simply for not being Christian.
