Here are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh. Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purpose of the calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles (1.3 km) per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles (125.83 million km), not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa’s sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second (1083 km/s), 3000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest manmade vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at poky 27.4 miles per second (45.7 km/s), and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour (25 km/h) - that is four thousands of a mile (4/1000) per second (6.9 m/s). The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium size Lego set (two pounds, or 0.906 kg, that is), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons US (508,000 t metric), not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds (136 kg). Even granting that the “flying” reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can’t be done with only eight or even nine of them - Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons (54,864 t metric), or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). 600,000 tons (606,600 t metric) travelling at 650 miles per second (1083 km/s) creates enormous air resistance, and this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion Joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst in flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousands of a second (0.00426 s), or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from dead stop to 650 miles per second (1083 km/s) in 0.001 seconds, would be subjected top acceleration forces of 17,500 g’s. A 250 pound (113 kg) Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force (195,470 kg force, or 1.9547 MN), instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo. Therefore, the only conclusion for this is Christmas magic!
OR maybe, just maybe, Santa has cultivated to a really profound realm where all of that shit becomes achievable.
That or he cultivated for a while and it's his sect anniversary on the night of the 24th of december...
Also, don't trust all of human Science just because it is present... Learn to verify certain things more personally... Become a Santa and try bring a smile on someone's face...
He has a teleporter. Each tree acts as a beacon. The chimney stuff is just smoke and mirrors. His team is made up of reindeer. Santa
Either way Santa is a capitalist pig who uses enslaved elves to power his sweatshops to maintain his own glory and status, so the question isn't "how does Santa deliver those presents", the question is "when will the common elf rise up, overthrow their fascist dictator, and seize the means of production for common elven good".
I think so we can assume that rudolph's nose is a kugerblitz black hole or fusion powered drive. What's more you have made a wrong assumption that there is only a single santa, cause it is certainly possible that there is a network of them or we can just accept the fact that christmas is nothing more than an excuse for us to get a holiday
With all those calculation I bet you are wondering why santa didnt add your house back then in his formula...
Or you realize that Santa has nothing to do with Christmas to begin with and save yourself the hassle of calculating it. Technically Christmas is the pagan Solstice with a little christian paint (the tree for example is a pagan tradition).
Easy, Santa can manipulate time, and has a bag of holding. Btw, you can also cut out large swaths of land in Africa and south America that he doesn't need to make deliveries to. The vast majority are either part of a tribal community that have no clue he exists, are children soldiers or both. So as long as he hits up the major cities hell likely catch all the good kids essily. Another factor to take I to consideration is that not all homes will have good children or kids at all. So this will again reduce his deliveries yet once again
Your research suggests that everyone on the planet has houses with a chimney and socks in front of the fireplace, which makes it wrong. Why explore the phenomenon of Santa in our world when you need to study it in the quantum world. Santa is both at the same time and not in front of all the fireplaces of good and bad children and travels from the northern pole to the gift recipient's house at the same time. in the event that Santa was discovered, the Schrödinger effect is applied to it. after which the quantum effect is restored. end of story
