I just got this the other day and it seemed relevent ;~)

>First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So

>we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates

>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.
