The Science of Santa's Speed

Santa's challenge of delivering gifts to millions of children in a single night raises intriguing scientific questions. The podcast discusses how Santa would need to visit approximately 300 million children in about 31 hours, leading to an estimated 768 visits per second. To manage this impossible feat, Santa would require advanced technology, potentially a quantum computer, to plan the most efficient route through millions of homes. This discussion hints at physical impossibilities and suggests that Santa's ability to deliver is beyond our current understanding of physics.
