A chemistry student was asked to explain if heaven or hell exists on a test...
The question was: 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 when it expands and heats 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 at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are 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 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 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.
If we accept the postulate given to me by Theresa during my freshman year that "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and we 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 leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Theresa kept shouting, "Oh my God."

- 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.
- 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.

Humanity is not doomed. It will never be. Humanity is part of our very nature. But the global covid crisis demostrates in many ways that our sense of empathy is currently buried under a huge mental and psychological burden. Well - because this situation is the most difficult tolerance test since the second world war, we should be lenient with ourselves and everyone we meet.

People are always crazy, we just have cameras in everyone hands to record it now.

And it's become socially acceptable to be crazy and / or stupid. It used to be frowned upon.

I so hope this is true, and I tell myself that but sometimes I am not so sure.

Exactly! Before the internet your neighborhood nut job was isolated. Everyone knew them and stayed away. The internet gave them a vehicle for banding together.
I’m not “obsessed” over COVID-19 as has been alleged. However, I have 2 adult children. One lost his job due to this. The other is a responsible college student who has tested negative 5 times since August yet her junior year on campus is in jeopardy due to the disregard of following rules by other students.

Crap! I thought 2020 was a bummer. Now I have to prepare for another bad year.
I’d bank on it. Especially if, never mind...

I think it is the flood gate opened up on speed and volume of information to make the world smaller. We are adjusting and eventually we will figure out how to handle it. Just like long ago after discovering fire and see it can burn your finger and dwelling down if you don't handle/control it.
