Everyone knows that Santa Claus delivers gifts to millions of children around the world each Christmas. But a closer look at the Claus stories reveals that perhaps Santa is more myth than man.
DailyCognitition lists seven important Santa statistics such as:
1. No known species of reindeer can fly.
4. To keep his pace, Santa’s sleigh must move at 650 miles per second or 3,000 times the speed of sound.
6. A sleigh weighing 321,300 tons traveling at 650 miles per second would create enormous air resistance and heat up the reindeer the same way that spacecraft burn upon entering the earth’s atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would need to absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy, per second, each. In short, they would instantaneously burst into flame and vaporize.
Santa must indeed be magic, because only a magic man could withstand these incredible forces of nature.
