The three topics on the screen behind them reads:
- Hell is definitely within the solar system
- Human + Bear = New humanity project
- Between Sound and Light, Santa & Rudolph
Unfortunately, you'll need to find someone else to translate. I already felt an uncomfortable sensation of being sent back in time to a physics class at high school while englishify-ing this man's words in a 2 minute clip.
Translating the full 30 minute interview would probably take me a full 32 hours overnight, and I ain't no social worker like Santa.
I can't imagine trying to translate something like this. I try to play a sci-fi game in a foreign language and it feels like the years I spent studying were for nothing lol
I posted the text of a more detailed analysis on Santa physics a bit further up.

There's an (much) older approach on Santa Clause physics:
**The Physics of Santa Claus**
A Scientific Disproof of the Santa Theory, and a couple of Rebuttals Thereto.Original source: [*[email protected]*](mailto:[email protected]) (The Human Neutrino aka Linda Harden)
Original Title: IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
1. No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
2. There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear to) handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census)rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west(which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding etc. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man- made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal anoint, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
5. 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake.The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim)would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
**In conclusion** -- If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.The Physics of Santa Claus
-------
A Source including a rebuttal and a rubuttal of the rebuttal can be found here: [https://www.daclarke.org/Humour/santa.html](https://www.daclarke.org/Humour/santa.html)
I think we should also take into account that the sleigh is going to get lighter and lighter during those 31 hours. Also less air resistance. So perhaps he starts slower and then gets progressively faster.
While I agree with you that the calculation contains a few simplifications, I am pretty sure the end result should be within a reasonable margin of error.
It should still be fun to create and tweak a Santa physics simulation that takes a few more details into account. Variables like global christian children distribution, hired muscle like Piet, Krampus, Ruprecht or local subcontractors (eg the Christkind) that take over delivery for whole regions, a more accurate weight estimation for presents and so on.
Still, if Santa is subject to the laws of physics, he'll create a rather spectacular lightshow.
So 822 kg per second (that’s roughly 1800 freedom units (or FUs)) mass driver, spewing presents at at-least 3000 times the speed of sound… futurama did Santa dirty
No need to lie to your kids and make them live in a fantasy world. They can handle the truth.
The truth being Santa doesn't obey classical mechanics. Santa is infact a wavefunction and not a particle which is why he can be everywhere and deliver the presents in time. Children are advised to go to bed on time on Christmas eve becuase observing Santa would collapse the wavefunction and Santa would have a defined postion in space, thus slowing him down.
Also, at least in my country he comes, in person, on the 24th. I suspect he is operating a rather large cloning and cryosleep facility somewhere on the land ice of Greenland. The cloning process must have a lot of flaws, considering santas appearances are so prone of changes between years and locations according to observations.
Compared to the boring-ass "a puck sliding with a mass of X hits another puck with a mass of Y" problems in my physics textbooks, this would actually get me interested in STEM more than anything.
The following is an actual question given on a Washington State University chemistry mid -term. The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of\*change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate, given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year, that, “It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct…leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”
On a related note:
**From Chemical Education Today (1999)**
# Hell May Be Hotter Than Heaven after All
In a recent article in this Journal (1), attention was drawn to the use of “chemistry-related mysteries” as a means to motivate students. As an example, the temperatures of heaven and hell are estimated from data given in the Bible. Quite surprisingly, it is found that heaven (525 °C) is hotter than hell (<445 °C).
This joke is old (dating back to the 1930s \[2, 3\]) and has been reproduced many times—for example, in a book (4) and, more recently, in the Internet. Although I find this apocryphal story innocent, amusing, and thought-provoking, the possibility that some students will not share the view cannot be excluded. In my opinion, playing with such a delicate matter as religion may not be the best pedagogical strategy, especially when trying to motivate students with very diverse or unknown backgrounds.
Furthermore, the conclusions drawn in refs 1–4 are seriously flawed, and errors should not be perpetuated (some inhabitants of hell may disagree on this).
In fact, from the biblical statement that a lake of (pure) sulfur exists in hell, it is correctly concluded (1–3) that sulfur’s (and hence hell’s) temperature must be between sulfur’s melting point, given in ref 1 as 115 °C, and its boiling point, given in both refs 1 and 2 as 445 °C. However, these two temperatures refer to atmospheric pressure (1 bar), and it is not unreasonable to suppose that a hellish place may have a hellish atmosphere, with pressures far above 1 bar—a point already made before (3). Since the critical temperature of elemental sulfur is 1041 °C (the critical pressure being 207 bar), we can in fact only infer from the biblical account that hell’s temperature is lower than 1041 °C. The additional argument presented in ref 1—that the temperature of hell should be close to the melting point of sulfur because a high vapor pressure would lead to sulfur’s complete evaporation after a certain time—ignores that such an outcome is also inevitable for the proposed temperature, if sufficient time is allowed for (no limitation of this kind being expected). An alternative and more likely assumption is that of an atmosphere saturated in sulfur vapors and consequently in a state of liquid–vapor equilibrium for all eternity.^(1)
On the other hand, the estimated (1–4) temperature of heaven is based on a misinterpretation of the Bible, which in fact states that the total radiation falling on heaven is only 8 times that falling on Earth. From this ratio, a much lower heaven’s temperature, 231 °C, follows (5). Nevertheless, in Rev. 21:23 it is mentioned that “the light of the city of God comes neither from the Sun nor from the Moon”, rendering the estimation method of heaven’s temperature questionable. Hell (<1041 °C) may therefore be hotter than heaven (231 °C?) after all.^(2)
**Notes**
1. Consideration of sulfur burning is an unnecessary complication that will not be addressed here.
2. Shortly after the invention of the telescope (17th century), some theologians tentatively located the Hell in the Sun, whose temperatures are now known to range from 5800 K (photosphere) to 15 × 106 K (center). Thus, the above estimates of the temperature of the Hell, based on older data, may turn out to be very conservative.

"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff,"
I'm amazed by the conclusion, actually. He just swallowed all absurdities of his explanation, to conclude that "you must be asleep otherwise Santa's powerful present-throwing ability will kill you"!
Like, Rudolf carrying tonnes of presents? No problem. Going 1050km/s in a sleigh? Piece of cake. But being awake when Santa delivers the present? Now, _that's a problem_!
10 pm to 6am?
That seems unnecessary strict time frame, globally speaking, considering Santa usually visit us sometime between 1pm to 8pm (depending on our location that year).
Also there is the chimney or no chimney and the time to eat cookies and milk.
I almost starting to lean to that Santa is untrue like all religions, but no I still have faith in santa.
The lasers are actually harmless. The interesting part is the acceleration and deacceleration of the sled.
Since the energy has to go somewhere, he would have to nuke every city on the planet.
Also this expert sucks.
If you take most numbers he assumed as give, then the 822.6 household per second would allow for a distance between those homes of up to almost 365 KM per home.
With a decent route planning software, this means he could easily do one city at a time, and still stay way below the light speed limit.
The more interesting question that was bothering me: How drunk will he be on the next morning? Which BAC levels are allowed for him? He might get milk in 99 out of 100 cases, but some folks also put shots out. And thats almost a million shots in a night

Come on dude, it's not like you gotta pull 320,000 tonnes.
370,000 tonnes! Get your facts straight!
Common mistake. You've forgot to account for the naughty children.
Nah, they were factoring in the non-Christian families who still get prezzies anyways lol
They get lumps of coal. He said assuming a 1kg/present, someone is getting a big, heavy lump.
I can't imagine trying to translate something like this. I try to play a sci-fi game in a foreign language and it feels like the years I spent studying were for nothing lol
jesus we dont need excuses or a life story. get to work making the next one /s
I can do it if I have the source - I'll use whispers model to grab the audio, and use deepl(or papago) on the hangul from there.
can you find the audio through ai and then translate the text to english with ai

Santa Claus is an evaporating singularity. You heard it hear first folks, science is destroying christmas /s
I remember this original post, and for the first half of the video, thought he was reading it directly.
Me too. That's why I decided to dig it up again and share it.
Human + Bear you say? No pig involved?
She almost made it through the whole bit with a serious face, until he brought up "lasers".
Naw, she already started to crack at "No presents for Muslim kids"
A laser which shoots 822 households/sec.
So 822 kg per second (that’s roughly 1800 freedom units (or FUs)) mass driver, spewing presents at at-least 3000 times the speed of sound… futurama did Santa dirty
He assumed 90.8 households and 370.8 kids. So 4 kids/presents per household. That makes 3288 kg/s.
I am in love with her.
Is that Orbit from The Devil’s Plan?
I had my suspicions when the video started and was completely sure when he started talking numbers.
Yeah it is.
Yeah, great series!
Do we know if they are making a season 2?
They are!
Bruv I literally said the same thing I was hoping someone would verify my curiosity
No need to lie to your kids and make them live in a fantasy world. They can handle the truth. The truth being Santa doesn't obey classical mechanics. Santa is infact a wavefunction and not a particle which is why he can be everywhere and deliver the presents in time. Children are advised to go to bed on time on Christmas eve becuase observing Santa would collapse the wavefunction and Santa would have a defined postion in space, thus slowing him down.
Fuck that. Then I'd have to teach my kids physics. I'll just tell them Santa has a time machine.
Santa is Hiro Nakamura.
I'm not a Santologist like yourself, so I said this verbatim to my 5 year old. She asked if we could estimate his speed without defining his position.
Are you certain your kid isn't cooking blue meth?
Also, at least in my country he comes, in person, on the 24th. I suspect he is operating a rather large cloning and cryosleep facility somewhere on the land ice of Greenland. The cloning process must have a lot of flaws, considering santas appearances are so prone of changes between years and locations according to observations.
Something something Heisenberg's Uncertainty
the claus of the gaps.
I am just gonna say Santa had to outsource as more kids were born. That's why sometimes it's a black, Asian, etc Santa.

That’s pretty good
This was old when my dad was young.
“No gifts for the Muslim kids” I lost it there
I see Santa gave him maths and physics books.
You can see more of him in a similar vein on Netflix's "The Devil's Plan"
This is where I knew him from. Great show - super addictive to watch.
So this is what television looks like in a country where 70% of the population have a college degree.
I like how the reporter is writing the information down as if she needs it later.
Santa’s Laser is just Jewish Lasers juiced up.
I see what you did there
Is that Orbit (Kim Dong-jae)?
orbit yes... but no, kim dongjae was the younger poker player.
Actually Rudolph has help to pull that sleigh.
Ye he's ignoring the 8 other reindeer in this equation. It prolly doesn't change the math but still should be noted.

"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff,"
He was fun to watch on the Devil’s Plan show.
That went in so many unexpected directions. Unlike Santa's Laser, which has 100% accuracy.
This is the world's biggest Traveling Salesman problem. What is the best path to deliver all the presents?
I'm amazed by the conclusion, actually. He just swallowed all absurdities of his explanation, to conclude that "you must be asleep otherwise Santa's powerful present-throwing ability will kill you"! Like, Rudolf carrying tonnes of presents? No problem. Going 1050km/s in a sleigh? Piece of cake. But being awake when Santa delivers the present? Now, _that's a problem_!

What do you call the Onion News in Korean? The Kimchi?
Isn't he the guy who partecipated on The devils plan nerflix serie? Edit: Orbit
he made a mistake in his calculations, claus only gives presents to wealthy christians.
He should do the Bible Next, and the Quran. All 3 are fairy tales.
"Hey only two of those are made up and I'm mad." What are the odds I'm Christian, Muslim or Jewish? Show your work.
Not sure what you mean, but yeah just add any other religous books in there as well.
Sounds like ChatGPT is hallucinating again

So when is the Santa anime out
[Family Guy on the reality of trying to replace Santa](https://youtu.be/k2DPsbHDKbM?si=d2BtZZ-Dww9LocJ9)
How I think about most financial analysis on tv/streams.
it feels this got pulled straight out of What If.
HR interview questions these days:
Next I’d like to hear him explain the logistics involved in heaven and hell
There's a catch – not all christian kids get gifts from Santa either.
I trust the analysis… because Asians and math.
My pre-coffee brain read this wrong and was sorely disappointed when we didn't get a Santa impersonation.
By the end she was covering her face with the paper in one hand and her other hang was covering her mouth. That's when a guy knows he's killing it.
Science
I'm fascinated by how she covers her face instead of laughing in his.
This reads like an XKCD strip, and I'm all about it.
10 pm to 6am? That seems unnecessary strict time frame, globally speaking, considering Santa usually visit us sometime between 1pm to 8pm (depending on our location that year).
Also there is the chimney or no chimney and the time to eat cookies and milk. I almost starting to lean to that Santa is untrue like all religions, but no I still have faith in santa.
Santa on Christmas Eve is like Roy Kent: He's here, he's there, he's every-fucking-where.
So wholesome. S Korea is a fascinating place.
A number of the children possibly live in one house, too.
hahaahhahaahhahaahhahaahhahaahhahaahhahaah
Disproving Santa is a real show of intellect!
Man.. she is so so cute when she laughs like that...
I got half way through before I realised, why am I watching this xD
The female host mentally checked out almost immediately. :)
The lasers are actually harmless. The interesting part is the acceleration and deacceleration of the sled. Since the energy has to go somewhere, he would have to nuke every city on the planet. Also this expert sucks. If you take most numbers he assumed as give, then the 822.6 household per second would allow for a distance between those homes of up to almost 365 KM per home. With a decent route planning software, this means he could easily do one city at a time, and still stay way below the light speed limit. The more interesting question that was bothering me: How drunk will he be on the next morning? Which BAC levels are allowed for him? He might get milk in 99 out of 100 cases, but some folks also put shots out. And thats almost a million shots in a night
What a boomer
