Subj: Temperature of heaven / admin (?) stuff...
Alrightie, guys....after a week of resonses, I think I've finally
shrunk the list to only those who wish to be on it. If you are still
receiving stuff from me, (IE. If you got this mesg...) and don't want it
tell me ASAP, so I don't tick ya off or something. =) That's about
it....have a good weekend! Don't study(?) too hard....cmg

> heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for
> radiation, (_ H/_ E)^4 = 50, where _ E is the absolute temperature of the

> 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.
