About Santa Claus... |
|
Hi !
Now there we are, Christmas is here, and I know you're all waiting for Santa Claus to come to visit you...
...But did you know that the inexistance of Santa Claus has been scientifically proved ?
For those who still have doubts, here comes the absolute scientific proof of his inextistance :
There are more or less 2 billion kids ( under 18 ) on Earth.
But as Santa Claus does not visit Hindu, Muslim, Jewish or Buddhist kids (except maybe in Japan), this lowers his task from 2 billion kids to only 15% of this number, this means 378 million kids. If we assume that there is an average of 3,5 kids / home, and that atleast one of them was kind enough throughout the year to desserve his presents, this gives us 108 million houses to visit.
Santa Claus has 31 hours of time to do his job during the Christmas night, thanks to the various time zones around the world, and to the rotation of our planet (assuming he travels from east to west, which seems quite logical). This implies he does 967,7 visits / secend. To give you an idea of what this means, let's say that for every Christian home with atleast one kind child, Santa Claus has approximately 1/1000th of a second to park his sleigh, to jump out of it, to go through the chemney, to fill the socks, to deliver the remaining gifts at the bottom of the fir, to enjoy some sweets the kids prepared for him, to get through the chemney again, to board his sleigh and to go to the next house.
Assuming all those 108 million houses are equally scattered around the globe (we know this hypothesis to be false, but we'll accept it as a first approximation), we must consider a 1,4 km (approx 1 mile) trip to go from one house to another. This means a trip that exceeds 150 millions kilometers (100 million miles - and this without even counting a few bypasses here and there). Santa Claus's sledge therefore has to fly at the speed of 1170 kilometer / second (3000 times the speed of sound). Compare this to the speed of the fastest spacecraft ever built - the space probe Ulysses - that trudges at the slow speed of 49 kilometer per second, and you'll start getting the point. Besides this, an average reindeer peaks at 27 kilometre / hour speed.
The loading carried by Santa's sledge also is an interesting aspect. Assuming that every kid gets nothing more than a Lego box (approx. 1 kilo), the sledge will have to carry over 500.000 tons (and this does not even count the weight of Santa Claus himself in!). On earth, a conventional reindeer cannot pull more than 150 kilos, but even assuming that Santa's famous flying reindeers are ten times stronger, the whole task couldn't be done by just 8 or 9 of them : It would require 360.000 of those flying reindeers, which would BTW increase the whole weight by 54000 more tons !
550 000 tons travelling at 1170 kilometer / second are damn resistant to the air itself. Like spaceships entering into the atmosphere, this would heat up the reindeers. Due to the only resistance of the air, the 2 reindeers at the front of the sledge would absorb 14300 million Joules / second each. In other words, they would burn up almost in the second, exposing the 2 next ones dangerously. In fact, scientists have calculated that all of the 360.000 reindeers would be vaporized within 4.26/1000 seconds, allowing Santa Claus to reach only the 5th house on his delivery schedule.
But don't bother about this, because Santa Claus, by going from 0 km/h to 1170 km/s in 1/1000th of a second would be subject to accelerations up to 17500 G's. A ridiculously slim Santa Claus weighing around 125 kilos would get crushed at the rear of his sledge by a force of 2157507,5 kilos, squashing instantaneously all his bones and organs, narrowing him down to a shapeless mass of skin and blood (sorry for those who're just having lunch !)
That's why, even if Santa Claus had ever existed, he must be dead by now ! |

You know, since I've heard that christmas gifts are only for those who believe Santa Claus exists, I started believing in him again too |
