Where is it hotter, in Heaven or Hell?

Incredible as it may seem, in 1972 a physicist decided to use science to answer this question . In an article published anonymously in the specialized journal Applied Optics, the researcher presented the result, explaining that the calculations had been based on two passages from the Bible . To calculate the temperature of Heaven, the author turned to Isaiah 30,26, where he says: "And then will the light of the Moon be like the light of the Sun, and the light of the Sun seven times greater, like the light of seven days? ". The author deduces that the Sky receives as much radiation from the Moon as the Earth receives from the Sun and, in addition, 7 times more (49). That would give a temperature of 525ºC .

As for hell, in Revelation 21: 8 we can read: "… for idolaters and all liars, their inheritance will be the lake that burns with fire and brimstone." If a sulfur lake is molten, its temperature must be equal to or lower than the boiling point, which is 444.6 ºC . We then have that, the temperature of Heaven is 525 ºC and the temperature of Hell is lower than 445 ºC. Therefore, the article concluded, Heaven would be hotter than Hell .

However, there are other more recent interpretations that defend the opposite, arguing that the landscape of Isaías would refer to a single factor of 7, and that in that case the temperature of the Sky would be 231.5 ºC (more "cooler").

A ray of light contains more information than you think

A simple ray of light, a jet of photons, is capable of giving us information about the temperature, composition, speed and distance of the star that emitted it.

The legacy of Albert Einstein: the Theory of Relativity

On this day Albert Einstein was born in Germany, author of the theory of relativity, who determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers.

An asteroid that was going to hit Earth in 2023 turns out to be...

For a few days in January, asteroid 2022 AE1 became the most dangerous asteroid observed in more than a decade.

This is theory that says what was there before the Big Bang

One of the problems with physics is that its two great theories, general relativity and quantum theory, get along like a cat and a dog. Although we have been searching for a quantum theory of gravity for more than half a century, the truth is that the results are quite disappointing.

Is there only one time?

Time is a concept that we use daily throughout our lives. However, what is it? Time, we say, is what the clock ticks. But that is not saying much. If we reflect a little more we will see that no matter how hard we try to find an answer, none will completely satisfy us. Time is an elusive concept and it is surprising that something so familiar is so difficult to define.
