What nonsense! Santa only has to go faster than light. He doesn't have to do faster than warp 10!

24 time zones would give him about what 28-30 hours to deliver gifts to the world? At the speed of light he'd be able to travel 18,760,000,000 miles. 6.5 billion people at... can we say on average 5 per household... would mean 1,300,000,000 houses. Based on the US where 80% are christians but 90% celebrate christmas, I'm gonna translate the world value of 33% christian to 35% celebrating christmas. That cuts the houses down to 455,000,000. Houses in neighborhoods are pretty close, but there are wide open spaces and oceans that would throw the average distance between house off... with the distance he can travel, that many houses would have to be on average 41 miles apart ( ... )

oh... also, faster than warp 10 is impossible.... warp 10 was infinite speed hehe... it was the asymptotal limit for speed. infinity = infinity + 1... though I suppose that would make warp 10 senseless for santa to travel at, since infinite speed would be like being everywhere at once, so then why the sleigh?

haha I think Tom Paris described warp 10 as being everywhere at once...

all things considered though, "santa" *does* travel at warp 10... unless you still believe he's an individual entity :P

how does rudolf's red noes help with the fog if there moving faster then the speed of light?

huh... that is a good question. haha no idea. Though that would be so cool to see, something that emits light travelling at faster than the speed of light... I guess it would have to stop before you'd notice anything. But a craft with headlights could travel faster than light, and then the pilot hops out before the light gets to where they stopped...

or, since the light is being constantly emitted, would it be more like the object is pulling a pool of light behind it so if you got a still shot of the craft in motion it would be like the light was going in the opposite direction from the way it was supposed to.

Would it be like santa's head could be halo'd in red light... haha someone's trying to snipe santa!! HEADSHOT! M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL! hahaha
