Santa Claus under the eyes of science

Is Santa real? You must have asked that question at least once in your life. And at some point you will answer yourself: oh, it's important that it doesn't matter. Let Santa survive, with hopes, with beautiful dreams.

But there are scientists who 'mumbled' to try to calculate Santa's existence (only one in the North Pole!). They think that about 2 billion children in this world at age can receive Santa's gifts. But from a religious perspective, the old man in red only had to give joy to about 378 million children on Christmas Eve; He said that only good children could receive gifts, he had to fill the chimney of about 108 million houses.

He only had about 31 hours (thanks to the time zone difference and the movement of the Earth) to do that gigantic job, which on average he had to give 967.7 cases per second. Well, it was too hard for you. In terms of long distance, he had to ' fly ' more than 150 million km, not to mention the story of turning around, stopping to rest, going to the toilet . His reindeer caravan had to reach a speed of 1,170. km / sec, while a real reindeer only reaches the highest speed of 27 km / hour.

Speaking of gifts, if each gift is 1kg, it must be at least half a million tons of cargo. Imagine, a heavy vehicle that has to travel at a speed faster than a rocket will suffer the air resistance. For true scientists, the gift truck can only be circulated in the Christmas night sky except by . miracles.

Miracles are not many, but someone also believes that there must be miracles sometime in life. And so Santa still exists, and will exist for hundreds of years, thousands of years as existed .
