On the Technical Explanation for Santa Claus's Ability to Deliver Presents Worldwide in a Single Night

Or, put more simply, how the heck does Santa hit hundreds of millions of homes and cover 122 million miles in a single night?

Some science-y types have tackled that question.

Their explanation involves a subterranean community of Norwegian exiles that have been independently evolving at the North Pole for centuries, development of “relativity clouds” in which they can control time and space relative to the outside world, molecular morphing in order to sneak into children’s homes via the tiniest cracks, an immense antenna network to listen to children’s thoughts, and nano-toy-makers to manufacture gifts on the spot.

What takes the jolly old guy six months in “Santa time” appears to happen in a blink of an eye to us! Basically, he’s like Einstein in a red suit. 

It could happen.
