In light of the increased number of death threats I have been receiving, many more than normal in fact, related to the Physics of Santa thread, I have continued research into the phenomenon known as Santa Claus….
Ever since some of Einstein's ideas displaced a few of Newton's ideas, we've known that Santa Claus (and his reindeer and sleigh) are quantum phenomena, or more correctly, Macroscopic Quantum Objects. In fact, some have argued that 'ELF' is not a word, but an acronym for ElectroLytropic Force.
As a quantum object, Santa certainly exists, and he can visit arbitrarily as many children has he pleases in as short a time as is convenient (Christmas Eve). It is a feature of the quantum world that particles can be in more than one place at a time, provided that nobody is watching. The key lies in the fact of observation. Provided that nobody seeks to measure the effect with more than a certain amount of precision, the particle keeps all its options open. But if someone looks too closely, the particle makes its choice. In the language of quantum physics, its quantum wave function collapses. The kid gets no present!
Think of Santa Claus as a quantum particle, obeying the rules of the quantum world. It is perfectly possible for him to visit all the good children of the world nearly simultaneously, provided that he does so unseen. If he is spotted, that particular wave function will collapse. The quantum nature of Santa Claus explains the universal taboo against ever actually seeing him do his job.
In fact even the name “Santa†seems to be an ancient progenitor of the word “Quantaâ€. So it would not be unreasonable to classify this phenomenon “Quanta Clausâ€, not to be confused with the Australian Airline letter of agreement, the Quantas Clause……
Operating in the quantum world has many advantages not available to the Newtonian world. The most important of these is the ability to create, per unit of time, an infinite number of possible realities. This comes in handy as the number of children increases across the globe……Santa could conceivably create enough alternate but simultaneous realities that he could just make just one trip, per reality, to each child’s home. Once there he could leisurely stop for milk and cookies, place each present just right, and let his reindeer eat their fill of carrots, all the while in no rush whatsoever.
Santa had to give up the “lump of coal for the bad kids†gig however. The worldwide demand for diamonds by the women of the world has forced the reallocation of all the lumps of coal into the diamond processing supply chain….So remember, if you are getting a diamond this year for Christmas, it’s really just a lump of coal that Santa has been sitting on all year…..
The question remains, however, as to how he travels to each and every good child’s home. This is also answered through quantum physics. For those of you who have watched the hit TV series “Stargateâ€, you know the Stargate is a device that can transport things, people, and even nine reindeer with a jolly ol’ fellow in a big red sleigh instantaneously to other galaxies and planets. Obviously the folks who write for the show got this idea from Santa as the show was created and filmed in Canada. I mean up to now the most technologically advanced show from Canada is “The Red Green Showâ€! Those crafty Canadians are a lot closer to the North Pole than the rest of us are and plainly the Canadian Secret Service has been conducting surveillance on Santa and passed on this idea to the producers of Stargate!
I agree with many of you that Santa does indeed posses Magic!!
In The Lost Worlds of 2001, Arthur C. Clarke writes, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
After naming our boat Fragile Magic we would be the last to dispute the Magic of Christmas!!
So there we have it! Santa is indeed capable of visiting each and every good little boy and girl all over the earth in one night in a leisurely manner befitting his jolly ol’ nature. This also assures that no matter how many children are added to the Earth’s population each year, he is up to the task!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
