As some of you may know my science teacher set out to prove to my whole class that Santa Claus existed. Read This: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=13811
So, let me tell you what became of this epic lecture. And let me tell you, this was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard, and you'll see why once you have read this. Let's get into it:
He explained this in three parts so I will break this up into three sections:
*******************************************
PART 1: NEWTON
first, he read us this list of all of the things that make it impossible for Santa to exist. Here is a link to this list if you wish to read it. I highly recommend reading it before continuing or else nothing will make sense: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread15956.html
After reading this paper he then crumpled it up into a ball and throew it away. He then told us that he was going to disprove many of those statements using Einsteins theory of relativity. He also told us that the list was using some of Newtons laws and that it failed to include certain elements into the equation. But let's move on to Einstein now...
**************************************************
PART 2: INFINITE TRIES = FACT
He called someone up to the board and set up a trash can and gave the student a baseball. He told the kid to drop the baseball into the trash can. So he did. He then explained that because there was a little distance between the basket and the kid that there was almost a 100% chance that the kid would make it.
He then had the student back up several feet an shoot. He made it and they repeated this until the kid was all the way across the room and missed. Our teacher then described how the farther you are away from something the less likely you are to make the basket. However, if you had the strength, unlimited time, and unlimited chances you would be able to throw that ball a football feilds length and could keep trying and eventually make it in.
He then explained that this was a fact. that strength + unlimited tries + Unlimited time= 100% chance that you would eventually make the shot. That was how he described fact from fiction.
***********************************************
PART 3: BLACKBIRD
a while back there was a type of plane invented called a blackbird. They were made a certain way so that no radar could catch tem and they were so fast they could out run ANY missle or plane. They were classified until recent years however their top speed is still classified.
Thse planes were incredibly fast, but no where near as fast as Santa would be in orer to get to all of those houses. Read that list to see what I mean.
***************************************************
PART 4: EINSTEIN & THE BLACKBIRDS
Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists ever, set up an expiriment, not to prove Santas existence, but to prove his own theory.
He got the U.S. military to allow him to use 2 of these planes. One plane would be turned on at the exact time but stay sationary, whereas the other one would fly to California and back. So here is what happened, the planes where turned on at the EXACT same time... right up to the 1 billionth fraction of a second and one of them took off.
The plane on the ground and the one in the air both were keeping track of time using their clocks, which were also started at the same time. The plane that went to California came back in 4 hours and both planes were shut down at the exact same time.
Then the clocks were examined... The plane that had never moved but had still been working had timed out 4 hours, just like it shoul've. However, the plane that went to California had timed: 3 hours and 54 minutes. This expiriment was repeated and the results were the same.
The conlcusion of this expiriment: The closer an object can get to light speed
(187,000,000 miles per second) the more time slows down. If anything ever reaches 187,000,000 miles per second, time will stand still for that object while it continues to travel.
*****************************************************
PART 5: GALAXIES
Our techer then told us about black holes in space. When a black hole fforms it can suck in stars, planets, asteroids, and even light. every time something is sucked in t creates a new galaxie, or demension if you prefer. There are new ones being created all of the time and it has been decided that there are infinity number of galaxies out there.
What does this prove? Well, in every galaxy there are different things hapening. And it is definite that in at least one if not more there is a world just like ours but where everything is opposite. (I would be black, have dark hair, and not do magic.) What does it have to do with Santa? You'll se in a minute...
***********************************************************
PART 6: CONCLUSION
Because there is definitely a galaxy where everything is oppostie then there must be a galaxy where Santa exists. There is even a 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 chance that Santa lives here or eventually could get here.
Two, We have learned that if Santa traveled at a speed about 7,000 times faster then the speed of light, then he would actually either stop time while he did his route or completely reverse time by a few hours while he did this giving him all of the time he needed.
It is also possible for a flying Reindeer to exist. We have not found one yet but there are close to 400,000 species of animals that still need to be discovered, therefor, not ruling out the possibility of flying reindeer.
also, if Santa traveled that fast and stopped and/or reversed tme then he would have have an infinite amount of time to deliver gifts, eat cookies, climb down chimneys, and get back home before daybreak. (The test with the ball and the trashcan demonstrates this.) Therefor making it one hundred percent certain that he could do all of those things.
Then my teacher said: "Although I never leave cookines out or anything I still go out every Christmas Eve and look into the sky, because there is a slim chance that Santa does reside in our demension. and if you ever find a present under your tree that doesn't have a tag, your parents swear they didn't put it there, and all of your sibling think Santa is fake making there no reason to lie... Well, you might have just missed Santa. You must have blinked for just a fraction of a second too long. Merry Christmas."
Than the bell rang and we all left...
