A Scientist Explains The Magic Of Santa

Scott Fox — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:13:13 +0000

Skeptical of Santa’s abilities to deliver presents to millions of homes and children in just one night? Dr. Larry Silverberg, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, has figured out the plausible scientific and engineering principles that allow the Jolly Old Elf to pull off this magical feat year after year. “Santa may appear to be merely a jolly old soul, but he and his North Pole elves have a lot going on under their funny-looking hats“, Silverberg says. “Their advanced knowledge of electromagnetic waves, the space/time continuum, nanotechnology, genetic engineering and computer science easily trumps the know-how of contemporary scientists. Santa Claus has a personal pipeline to children’s thoughts–via a listening antenna that combines technologies currently used in cell phones and EKGs–which informs him that Megan in Miami hopes for a surfboard, while Michael from Minneapolis wants a snowboard. A sophisticated signal processing system filters the data, giving Santa clues on who wants what, where children live and even who’s been bad or good. Later, all this information is processed in an onboard sleigh guidance system, which provides Santa with the most efficient delivery route“.

Important note: Silverberg is not so naïve as to think that Santa and his reindeer can travel approximately 200 million square miles–making stops in some 80 million homes—in one night. Instead, he posits that Santa uses his knowledge of the space/time continuum to form what Silverberg calls “relativity clouds.” “Based on his advanced knowledge of the theory of relativity, Santa recognizes that time can be stretched like a rubber band, that space can be squeezed like an orange and that light can be bent,” Silverberg says. “Relativity clouds are controllable domains–rips in time–that allow him months to deliver presents while only a few minutes pass on Earth. The presents are truly delivered in a wink of an eye.”

And there’s really no need for Santa to enter the house via chimney, although Silverberg says he enjoys doing that every so often. Rather, the same relativity cloud that allows Santa to deliver presents in what seems like a wink of an eye is also used to “morph” Santa into people’s homes.

Finally, many people wonder how Santa and the reindeer can eat all the food left out for them. Silverberg says they take just a nibble at each house. The remainder is either left in the house or placed in the sleigh’s built-in food dehydrator, where it is preserved for future consumption. It takes a long time to deliver all those presents, after all.

.@CashConners: The Cast Of Jersey Shore Preps For Italy By Learning Italian

Cash Conners — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:44:08 +0000

I’ve got good news and bad news regarding Jersey Shore filming in the homeland.

The bad news is production has been delayed because a few of the stars need new contracts.

***UPDATE*** TMZ is reporting ALL cast members have signed on for Season 4 and filming will begin in May.

The good news is the cast is excited about going. Deena told MTV News:

“Can’t wait! I honestly can’t wait to get there and see the place. For some reason, I really want to go on a gondola ride. Or I would like if we’re in Rome, I would like to see the love fountain, so I’m thinking I’ll steal a coin … maybe I’ll fall in love.”

Vinny tells MTV News that his pre-filming ritual goes a little deeper.

“Preparing for Italy is pretty much preparing for any of the other seasons, trying to get in shape, trying to spend some time with my family, chill out, the quiet before the storm. I’m excited to be thrown right into the water with whatever language skills I have.”

Speaking of language skills, check out the cast getting a crash course on Italian.
