#xmas - Santa would have to travel at 650 miles per second, visiting some 822.6 homes per second in order to complete his global Christmas gift run, according to calculations by physcisists.Assuming that Santa Claus exists and that his reindeer and sleigh can actually fly, physcisists calculated that he would have to visit 91.8 million homes delivering presents to up to 378 million Christian children worldwide. By travelling East to West, Santa could take advantage of different time zones and thereby give himself 31 hours to deliver 321,200 tonnes of Christmas gifts. Despite travelling at 3,000 times the speed of sound, Santa would be on a tight schedule and have just 1/1000th of a second to park, slip down the chimney, fill the kids Christmas stockings, drink his glass of milk, eat his complimentary Christmas snack and get back in his sleigh.
