Santa Claus is a fictional character believed to sneak into houses on the night of Christmas, the eve of the Christian holiday (Christmas), where the birth of Jesus is celebrated on December 25, and leave gifts for children. Legend has it that children write a letter to Santa Claus informing them which present they want for Christmas. Santa Claus also makes toys for children with his elves. He spends Christmas night handing out presents to children in the sky.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson tweets from my archive of Santa Claus yesterday, before Santa Claus delivers gifts. All day today. Stay tuned…” he tweeted. Then, throughout the day, he entertained his followers with his logical explanations to the absurd details we are used to from Santa Claus legends. We’ve put together Neil deGrasse Tyson’s hilarious series of tweets.
Fun tweets from the astrophysicist:
“Random Santa Fact:
Longitude lines are the boundaries of Time Zones. So at the North Pole, where all lines of longitude meet, clock-time has no meaning. ”
“Santa Claus strictly keeps track of how many hours have passed and how long the Elven troop has allowed to run, but in the North Pole, where all Time Zones meet, the actual time of day has no meaning.”
“Since the North Pole is just the ocean, Santa’s Arctic workshop only existed on a floating ice sheet.
Images depicting Santa’s workshop with pine trees and snow-capped peaks on the horizon are geographically scant. ”
“Santa Claus is pale because he is in the middle of six months of darkness in Earth’s North Pole. And he only gives presents at night.”
“How does the weight change if the earth stops spinning?
Santa at the North Pole weighs the same as usual. Everyone else loses the centrifugal force that peaks at the Equator.
A 150-pound person out there is 1/2 kilo more. ”
“If people left carrots and celery and hot tea for Santa instead of milk and cookies, I bet he would be much, much weaker.”
“As the Earth warms and the Arctic ice melts, Santa Claus will lose his habitat. One day we may see photos of him clinging to an ice floe.”
“Santa Claus knows Physics:
Of all the colors, Red Light penetrates the fog best. That’s why Benny the Blue-nosed reindeer never got the job. ”
“For Santa to deliver gifts to Christians all over the world overnight, hypersonic speeds, reindeer and sleigh must evaporate through Earth’s lower atmosphere.
I’m just saying’. ”
“Something Einstein’s Theory of Relativity never considered:
Maybe Santa’s Reindeer is dormant and we’re the ones walking past them on Christmas Eve. ”
“Santa Claus doesn’t know Zoology: Both male and female Reindeer grow antlers. But all male Reindeer lose their antlers in late autumn, long before Christmas. So all Santa’s sporting horned reindeer are, therefore, all females. , which means Rudolf is misgendered.”
“To all Christians of the world:
‘Merry Christmas. ‘
To Jews, Muslims and anyone who doesn’t wait for Santa Claus:
‘Happy Saturday. ‘ “
