my snata theory
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 12:58 pm
This is my Santa theory that took me a while to think up
1) No known species of reindeer can fly BUT there are 300,000 species of living organism yet to be discovered BUT most off these are bugs and germs BUT this does not completely rule out flying reindeer.
2) There are 2 billion children (persons under the age of 18) in the world BUT since Santa doesn?t (appear) to handle the Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the population reference bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household that?s 91.8 million homes. One presumes there?s at least one good child in each
3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with thanks to different time zones and the rotation of the earth assuming he travels east to west (witch seems logical) this works out to 822.6 visits per second. this is to say that for Christian household with good children Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of his sleigh, jump down the chimbly,put all the gifts in the stokings,distribute all the other gifts, eat all snacks and beverages given, hop bake up the chimbly,get into his sleigh and go to the next house.asuming that that each of these 91 million stops are evenly distubrited around the earth (with of course, we know that this is to be false but for the purposes of my calculations i will except),we are now talking about .78 million miles, not counting stops for what people have to do at least every 31 hours plus feeding and ecs. This means that Santa?s sleigh is moving at 650miles per second, 300 times that the speed of sound for purposes of comarison, the fastest man made vehicle on earth. The Ulysses space probe, moves at a porky 27.4 miles per second-a convential reindeer can run tops, 15 miles per hour.
4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321 tons, not including Santa himself who is overweight ... on land convectional reindeers can pull no more than 300 pounds even granting that "flying reindeers" see point one#
Could pull ten times the normal amount, we cannot do the with 8, or even 9 we need 214,200 reindeer this increases the payload- not even counting the the weight of the sleigh -to 353,430 tons again for comparison the weight of 4 titanic?s.
5) 353,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as a space craft re-entering the atmosphere the lead reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion Jules of energy per second. Each. In a short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exploding the reindeer behind them, and creating sonic booms in there wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporised in 4.26 thousands of a second. Santa meanwhile, will be subject to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater that gravity. A 250 pound Santa (witch seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of fours.
In conclusion if Santa ever did deliver presents on Christmas he?s dead now.
Wada u think.
