Santa Claus is dead!

Many people still really believe in Santa Clause. Well, I am sorry to disappoint these people, but they have to find out someday ... Sant Claus does not exist.

You want some proofs?

First of all , there exists THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND kinds of organisms capable of flying , most of these insects and germs , but no one has yet found flying reindeer , besides Santa ... So we question him ... Is he hallucinating?

There are over 2 billion children in the world , aged from 0 to 18 years old. Santa does not visit Hindu , Muslum , Jewish and Budhist children so that leaves 378 million children. A survey says there is an average of 3.5 kids per home , so this means there are about 91.8 million homes to be visited.

Thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, Santa Claus has about 31 hours that night to deliver his gifts, if we suppose that he travels from east to west ... which sounds pretty logical. This means Santa Claus must make 822.6 visits per second. For each Christian home with at least one child , Santa Claus has approximately one one thousandth of a second to park, jump off his sleigh and leave for the next home. Could you do that in 1 / 1000 th of a second? I don't think so.

If we suppose that the 91.8 million homes are spread evenly throughout the globe , which is a ridiculously false theory , but is accepted to facilate the calculations , the homes are about 1.25 km apart , with a total distance of 120 million kilometers. But we must not forget to add time for Santa , who is human as we are, to do what everyone must do at least once in 31 hours , plus eat three healthy meals a day. So Santa Claus' sleigh would have to travel at more then 1000 kilometers an hour, which is three times the speed of light.

The weight of the sleigh is also an important factor. Supposing that each child receives a medium-size LEGO set, weighing approximately 2 pounds, the total weight of the sleigh and the gifts would be about 321,300 tons, without counting jolly old Saint Nick.

Now, a standard reindeer can pull no more then 300 pounds. Even if a flying reindeer can pull ten times more then a normal reindeer, Santa would need 214,200 reindeers to pull his sleigh. Altogether, the 214,200 reindeer, Santa , the gifts and the sleigh would weigh more than 353,430 tons, which is equal to four times the TITANIC! Impossible! Why?

The 353,430 tons, travelling at a speed of 1000 km an hour would creat a huge air resistance , which would heat the reindeer just like a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The 2 leading reindeer would then absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy , per second , each. These leading reindeer , as a result of this , would then burst into flames , and so would the following ones and the reindeer behind them , creating a massive sonic boom. So the entire group of reindeer would be vaporized within 4.26 millionth of a second , exposing our friend Santa , who would be subject to centrifugal force 17,500 times greater than the force of gravity. Now assuming that Santa weighs a feeble 250 pounds , he would be squished in the back of the sleigh by 4,375,00 pounds of centrifugal force , and he would explode.

So , if Santa Claus once did exist and distribute gifts to children on Christmas eve , he is now dead!

Merry Christmas anyways!

Osprey21, you answered your own question.  Since Santa obviously has:
(1) Faster than light travel, he obviously has the
(2) Ability to travel back and forth in time.
   (Einsteinian time dilation effect)
Anyone in possession of such high technology would of course have an
(3) Inertialess drive for the sleigh.  The reindeers, long obsolete, are mere sentimental hold-overs from a simpler time.

Since Santa travels extra-dimensionally (ie, outside our 4 usual dimensions), Friction, pit stops, and the like are rendered irrelevant.
Hope this helps.
