Seriously?


While cute and all, nerds apparently are not concerning themselves with trips to Mars or [whisper] "the cancer."

No, instead they are channeling their nerd-like powers and thoughts into explaining Santa and how he could make the whole present delivery thing happen. Awesome.


"He exploits the space-time continuum," says Larry Silverberg, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University."He understands that space stretches, he understands that you can stretch time, compress space and therefore he can, in a sense, actually have six Santa months to deliver the presents," Silverberg told Reuters.

"We believe that he uses nanotechnology to grow the presents under the tree and really, what he's done, is he's figured out how to turn what we call irreversible thermo-dynamic properties into reversible ones and so he really starts with soot, candy, other types of natural materials, he puts them under the tree and he actually grows them in a reverse process to create the presents, wrapping and all."

Silverberg wraps up with this gem.

"It's certainly a worthy thing to spend time on and it has all sorts of ramifications in everyday life," Silverberg said.

Listen folks, if you can't lie to a 3 year old...we may have bigger issues to tackle first.
