Talk:The Physics of Hell/@comment-26402502-20150515172414

Not claiming to be a scientist or to know all about the topic, but you need a very specific set of circumstances for lifeless matter to be able to form life. The required circumstances would never be able to exist in "a sea of total darkness and absolute cold". If nothing else there wouldn't be the required amount of energy for atoms to fuse together and spontaneously form a creature as complex as a human being in a place like that.

The story itself is a great read, but trying to present it as a summary of a correct scientific theory while the science behind it is so flawed even a highschool graduate who followed physics, chemistry and biology classes can see why it's false kind of ruined the story for me.
