ESISTE VERAMENTE BABBO NATALE?
Vediamo di dare una risposta scientifica
1) Nessuna specie conosciuta di renne può volare. Ma ci sono 300.000 specie di organismi viventi ancora da classificare. Benchè la maggior parte di questi siano insetti o germi, ciò non esclude completamente la possibilità che esistano renne volanti, che peraltro solo Babbo Natale stesso sembra aver visto.
2) Ci sono due miliardi di ragazzi, ossia persone al di sotto dei 18 anni, nel mondo. Tuttavia, dato che sembra che Babbo Natale non visiti ragazzi Musulmani, Indù, Ebrei, Buddisti ecc., questo reduces the workload to about 15% of the total (378 million, according to the Office for Population). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that makes a total of 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each home.
3) Due to time zones and the rotation of the Earth, Santa has 31 hours to his work, assuming, as seems logical, which travels east to west. This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This means that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1 / 1000 of a second to park, hop out of the sled, down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat and drink whatever has been left (assuming in this regard that Santa Claus is equipped with an appetite comparable to that of a black hole and is teetotal, or at least capable of supporting an infinite amount of alcohol, because otherwise he would have died of indigestion after only a few stops, or at least would be drunk ...), back up the chimney, jump on the sled and head to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which we know to be true, but for purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are talking about a middle path between two metro area of \u200b\u200babout 1,154 km, and a total trip of 112 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us do at least once every 31 hours, plus food, etc.. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 962 km / sec, that is 3000 times the speed of sound. By way of illustration, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe , traveling at the speed of miserable 40.5 km / sec. A conventional reindeer can run up to 22 mph.
4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than an average Lego (900 grams), the sleigh must carry 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, a reindeer conventional can pull 136 kg. Even granting that flying reindeer (see point 1) could pull ten times higher than that of a conventional reindeer, we can not do eight reindeer, or even nine. We will need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the gross weight of 353,400 tons, not counting the sleigh! Again, for comparison, this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth .
5) The more than 353,000 tons traveling at 962 miles per second creates enormous air resistance, and this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy. Per second. For each reindeer. In short, the flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17500.06 times to that of gravity. A Santa Claus of 113 kg, which seems ludicrously slim, it would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 1,957,420 kg of force.
It is concluded that: If Santa has never tried to deliver gifts on Christmas Eve, is now dead.
