Why it is impossible that Santa can exist

No known species of reindeer can fly. However, there are 300 000 species of living organisms yet to be classified. Most of these are insects or germs, but this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer.

There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. Santa doesn't handle Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhists, which reduces the workload by 15% of the total 378 million according to the Population Reference Bureau. At an average rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes.
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with. This is due to the different time zone and assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). this works out to 822.6 visits per second. So Santa's leigh must be moving at 1040 kms per second. 3, 000 times the speed of sound. The fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at 43.8 kms per second. A conventional reindeer can run, tops, 24 kms per hour.

If the myth is correct, the sleigh would carry 321 000 tons (not counting Santa, who is a flabbo), which would take 214 000 reindeer to pull, not nine. 353 000 tons travelling at 1040 kms per second creates enormous air resistence. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second, each, and instantly explode. The entire reindeer team would be vapourised within 0.00426 of a second. meanwhile, Santa will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17 500.06 times grater than gravity. A 120kg Santa (seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back to his sleigh by 1 957 290 kgs of force.
