What does Santa need to overcome to get Christmas gifts?
Have you ever imagined that, if Santa is true like cartoons with the ability to ride on a reindeer car, what do you need to do that? The answer is: Santa will be almost unable to make his trip, because based on the proven theories of science, it is unlikely.
>>>Santa Claus is under the eyes of the physicist
As every year, every time near Christmas, the world's Santa Claus (just ordinary people dressed up) excitedly distribute gifts to the children. In animated films, we often see Santa's image with his white beard and bright red shirt, sitting on a reindeer carriage flying around the world.
However, that image seems only to be imagined, because scientists have calculated and pointed out a lot of natural barriers, but if Santa is real, it will be difficult to overcome.
The scientific laws that Santa must overcome to be able to travel around the world give a lot of gifts to children. In it, the calculations show that, to be able to finish delivering gifts within one night, Santa's chariot will have tremendous speed, 3000 times the speed of sound (sound speed about 331m / s or 1,192km / h depending on environmental conditions).
Temporarily not mentioning other factors, scientists also estimated that, just one night, Santa must serve more than 378 million children worldwide. Fortunately, due to the rotation of the Earth, he will have up to 31 hours to deliver gifts instead of only 24 hours according to the time law (assuming Santa flies from East to West to follow the direction of the Earth's rotation) ).
Based on the movement from the West to the East of the Earth, Santa will have up to 31 hours to make the journey to deliver gifts from the icy Arctic lands all over the world.
Not to mention, another assumption is that each household has about 3 children (based on the average census rate). Thus, he will have to visit more than 91.8 million homes around the world. That also means, he will have to make 822.6 visits per second to be able to go all and only get about a thousandth of a second.
In total, Santa's snowmobile will have to move at speeds of more than 1,050km / sec, ie 3,000 times the speed of sound or 0.35% of the speed of light.
At the same rate, he will surely encounter the effects of relativity, especially the expansion of time, which will make his age somewhat slower than the people living on Earth. .
Another problem continues to arise, which is Santa's sleigh. Assuming each child receives a gift weighing no more than 0.9kg, his sleigh will still weigh up to more than 320,000 tons (weight almost equal to the Empire State Building in the US). ).
Meanwhile, according to calculations, an average reindeer can only pull about 135kg, so the number of reindeer needed to pull out will probably amount to a very large number, more than 214,200 children. Of course, if those reindeer could fly, they probably could handle such a heavy weight or more.
In the animated movies about Santa Claus, people witnessed his fleet of rickshaws quite crowded with 8 reindeer with many different names from the first two Dasher children, Dancer to the last child Rudolph. And if the calculations above apply, then the reindeer will suffer the amount of labor generated about 13.4 million Jun / sec. Thus, it is likely that they will almost immediately burn and evaporate within 4.26 thousand seconds.
Another unnamed scientist said that if reindeer can fly, they must have a "very special gene sequence in DNA".
However, some studies by other scientists have shown that there will still be favorable conditions for Santa to do all that work within one night.
Good kids throughout that year are always eager to receive gifts from Santa Claus in the legend.
Jim Mantle from a Canadian technology company, called Waterloo Maple, said that Santa does not seem to have to complete the journey to more than 91.8 million houses on Christmas Eve by some locations. is excluded.
Last year, at the Young Science and Technology Fair called Big Bang in England, a group of scientists estimated that Snowman would need to consume about 150 billion calories of energy in milk and Minced meat cake to work hard during the journey.
The total estimated cost for all gifts falls to about $ 440 billion. At the same time, more than 3,000 novices will serve Santa, will have to work more than 8 hours / day to make enough gifts for all good kids.
Of course, the above are just funny arguments about the difficulties that Santa in the legend must perform, if present in the modern world today. However, whether Santa is real or not, with unexpected gifts you get Christmas Eve from relatives or friends, that would probably be equally great.
However, do not give up the interesting dreams about the wonderful things that will appear in the Christmas tree or under the fireplace, because that is the true dream that everyone should have for a Warm Christmas.
