In a past newsletter, I published an engineering review of why it was impossible for Santa to deliver presents over the course of one night. To be fair we have a rebuttal from North Carolina State University. Dr. Larry Silverberg, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, explains the science and engineering principles that could allow the Jolly Old Elf to pull off the magical feat.


Santa may appear to be technologically challenged, but that's merely a ruse. He and his North Pole elves have a lot going on under their funny-looking hats. Advanced knowledge of electromagnetic waves, the space/time continuum, nanotechnology, genetic engineering and computer science are all at their command.



Mr. Claus has a pipeline to children's thoughts by combining the technologies of cell phones and EKGs. A sophisticated signal processing system gives Santa clues on who wants what, where children live, and even who's been bad or good. All this information is processed with a GPS-enabled onboard sleigh guidance system, programmed with the most efficient delivery route.



Traveling 200 million square miles with stops in 80 million homes in one night is simply a matter of knowledge of the space/time continuum to form what Silverberg calls "relativity clouds." Santa knows that time can be stretched, that space can be squeezed and that light can be bent," Silverberg says. "Relativity clouds are controllable domains - rips in time - that allow him months to deliver presents while only a few minutes pass on Earth. The presents are truly delivered in a wink of an eye."



His reindeer - genetically bred to fly, balance on rooftops and see well in the dark - don't actually pull a sleigh loaded down with toys. Instead, each house acts as Santa's workshop where he can nano-fabricate toys inside the children's homes. The presents are grown on the spot - atom by atom - toys out of snow and soot, much like DNA can command the growth of organic material into body parts.



"This is our vision of Santa's delivery method, given the human, physical and engineering constraints we face today," Silverberg says. "Children shouldn't put too much credence in the opinions of those who say it's not possible to deliver presents all over the world in one night. It is possible, and it's based on real science."

Can anyone using physics and mathmatics find a website that argues against that or does not exist.
I know santa doesnt exist... my physics class is having a debate on wheter santa could possibly exist/ do what he does.
 
slow down!!!!!!!
well he may have the technology but stories about santa have been going on for a long time and i do think it was mean of him not to share his extraordinay knowledge with us when we needed it and according to legend Santa is supposed to be a good man who loves children and shares everything so it means that either santa doesnt hav this knowledge or he doesnt exist ITS UR CHOICE!!!!!!!!!

bu the way acoording to Dr. Silverbags theory it is possibly to delivery the toys in one night
 
Some people really know how to make science practical and fun! See more of his work at the reference. Thanks for posting this, it's a treasure!
 
Ok, maybe it's possible to deliver toys all in one night, but he's not real. Someone just made him up.
 
The deeper I get into Quantum Physics the more I believe that time and space don't mean squat -- especially to Santa!

As for flying reindeer...
After what I've seen in India with my own eyes...
If a Jnani can metaphysically overcome gravity by the power of the mind, then I am sure that genetically bred reindeer shouldn't have any problems.
