It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa Claus is already on the move, delivering gifts to kids around the world. But here’s the big question: how does he pull it off? Because, it’s one heck of a delivery route for good ol’ Saint Nick.

It turns out the secret is a mix of science and a little Christmas magic. According to EmailSanta.com, Santa’s got a clever trick up his sleeve. He uses the world’s time zones to his advantage…..basically cheating time! He starts at the International Date Line and works his way west, which gives him extra hours to get the job done.

He spends just 300 microseconds at each home. But in Santa’s time, that’s plenty to munch a cookie and drop off the presents. Sounds impossible for us mere mortals, sure. But let’s be honest, Santa’s not just jolly, he’s the greatest scientist the world has ever known. And if you believe in science, you’ve gotta have some faith in Santa Claus too.
