The Science Behind Santa - real or not?

In Room 3, a debate has exploded. Is the existence of Santa probable or not? Does Science support either side of this argument?

Is the possibility of Santa backed by Science?

Daniel, Reuben, Neil, David and Ray are looking at the evidence of how Science backs their theory that the idea of Santa is probable. They have hypotheses about anti-matter propulsion, quantum mechanics wormholes that allow the travel through time and space, nano-technology, cloaks of invisibility and parallel universes.

Skylar, Matthew and BaiLin don't believe there is enough scientific evidence to support the possibility of Santa existing. Their theories are based on logic - too little time, too many deliveries, too heavy and how do you explain not seeing or hearing Santa and his reindeer. The weight and speed needed to travel would cause too much friction and therefore combustion. The rebuttals continue.

This video from the AUT Scientists has not only helped provide some evidence behind their theories but also raised more questions.

AUT Scientists Explain the Science Behind Santa

We are interested in what they come up with! It has certainly sparked some curious scientists.

The evidence of possibilities has regrouped our debaters into a new team - The Believer's Team.
