Reply to: Chico: why is Heaven hotter than Hell?

[Churchill]

Threaded the plagiarist strikes again

The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26,

"Moreover, the light of the Moon shall
be as the light of the Sun and the light
of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the
light of seven days."

Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that ... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann
law for radiation, (H/E) temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed ...

(However) Revelations 21:8 says

"But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall
have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone."

A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.

Amazing what a google on "Heaven hotter than Hell" turns up.

Ah, Belinda. Always had a special soft spot for that red headed babe.

Oh, yes. I'm with you on that one, DP!

Them's a suffocation risk them's is. Health and safety should ask those lassies to put up a warning notice.

Heaven is a place on earth

Ooh, baby, do you know what thats worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

I thought 'cold as hell' was Elton John in Rocket Man. Although why he would be an expert on where not to raise kids I have no idea.

Chico my friend
your brain is broke can I recommend that you tear it out, and throw it from you

[Chico]

Hell

Why the interest?

[Sysman]

Is hell exothermic or endothermic?

was top of my google for this - remember it doing the rounds when I was a student, so its old.

[wobbegong]

ah yes but Kate Bush sang that its as 'cold as hell' in outer space

so I think there is room for a little confusion here

EO, I thought that line was in 'Rocketman' . . .

"Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell"

More than a little confusion?

I vaguely remember a version using entropy, but I can't find it.

Well, we all know that Chico's God is not bound by sodding laws of physics, but nevertheless the heaven is above clouds and if you were right then at 10 miles up it would be hotter than on the ground.

I disagree with this, Chico's God IS bound by the laws of physics , but he only invented them recently,when he dropped an apple on Newtons head.
Before that there were no physics and thats why Jesus could ascend up to heaven with such ease.

Nowadays if God gets a strop and wants to do something, he would have to change the laws of physics, do it, then change them back again afterwards.

I think

[The Lone Gunman]

OK Threaded, I will fall for it, you are dying for someone to ask anyway.

How do you figure that out?

[AtW]

Hot air rises so heaven is hotter than hell.
