    Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

    I dont belive in Hell, but for those who do, Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

    I would think a Lake of Fire gives off heat. But maybe the real Hell is actually very cold.

    A Thermodynamics question - YUCK!

    Hell is customizable. For those from the South, it's constantly 40 below and everything is iced over. For those who are used to cooler climates, Hell is a balmy 110 or above, and it's never a dry heat (think a tennis court on the Gulf Coast in August).

    If you want to get all theological, since Hell is as far removed from God as possible, I would imagine that to be a very cold place. Maybe the "gnashing of teeth" Jesus described is more like a chattering of teeth.
    Light travels faster than sound, which is why some people appear brighter before you hear them speak.

    I don't know whether it's a heat source or a heat sink, but if anyone's looking to go there (to find out?) ...

    I got it CENTERED in the cross-hairs of this MAP:

    And there's a little story that comes with this revelation: A long, long time ago I read a mostly tongue-in-cheek memoir from an OSS agent (that was before the CIA) who had served the U.S. in World War Two, called "You're Stepping On My Cloak and Dagger", that many years later became a movie that I never saw; but the gist of it was that at the end of World War Two, a small American unit went there to receive the surrrender of a German division in Norway, and when the German officers filed in to surrender, the first one said in perfect English:



    "We just came from Hell to see you."
