How does Santa do it?

Some of these facts and figures behind the science of Santa will blow your minds.

Santa has 32 hours to do all of his deliveries, according to time zone differences. He will travel at a speed of 1,800 miles per second, that is if he does not take any rest stops along the way. He will have to visit 1.6 billion children across the world who will get presents from him this year, unless of course, they have been naughty.

But how does he do it? It is a question that has puzzled children for decades. Just how does Father Christmas travel around the world in just one night delivering millions of presents on his reindeer-pulled sleigh?

Some believe that he exploits the space-time continuum, stretching time while compressing space. Others believe that Santa has mastered the power of anti-matter and outfitted his sleigh with a stardust anti-matter propulsion engine. 

But even is we figure out how he powers his sleigh, how does he fit all of those presents into his sleigh? Some believe that he just carries the ingredients and 'grows' the presents using nanotechnology and its irreversible thermo-dynamic properties.

But what about the reindeer. Some believe that his reindeer are genetically bred to fly at great speed, balance on rooftops and see in the dark.

The truth however is that no one really knows how Santa does it, because he keeps it as a trade secret !!!

P.S.

Santa was especially pleased that the US passed the Defend Trade Secrets Act in April 2016 and that the EU Directive on Trade Secrets was passed in June 2016.
