<p>Renowned astro-physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson delivered an unsolicited science lesson on Christmas Eve, using his own research to &#8220;prove&#8221; that Santa Claus&#8217; holiday delivery schedule was an impossibility.</p>
<p>Tyson explained in a couple of tweets why Santa could not possibly make it to billions of homes all around the globe in the span of just 24 hours.</p>
<p>&#8220;After extensive research, I&#8217;ve concluded that for Santa to deliver presents to the billions of homes that celebrate Christmas, and to do so in one continuous night across 24 time zones, he &amp; his reindeer must open wormholes through the fabric of spacetime between each delivery,&#8221; he tweeted.</p>

<p>Tyson went on to explain just how many homes per second Santa would have to visit in order to reach every family who celebrated the holiday, adding, &#8220;In case you were wondering, for Santa, in a single 24-hr Earth-night, to deliver presents to all those who celebrate Christmas, he must visit 25,000 homes per second.&#8221;</p>

<p>Critics were not impressed with Tyson&#8217;s lesson, however. One <a href="https://twitter.com/aginnt/status/1606881806351241217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that it &#8220;wins for the most unfun Christmas tweet of all time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Got the same 24 hours Santa got and using your time to tweet this smh,&#8221; another <a href="https://twitter.com/yc/status/1606903147552976896" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>.</p>
<p>Tyson wasn&#8217;t quite finished, however, and he followed up with one more tweet reminding the people who were offended by the religious undertones of the &#8220;Merry Christmas&#8221; greeting that &#8220;Happy Holidays&#8221; might not be quite as atheist as they thought.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just to affirm that whoever says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, is using a word that etymologically derives from &#8216;Holy Days,'&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>It wasn&#8217;t the first time that Tyson <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/neil-degrinch-tyson-astrophysicist-neil-degrasse-tyson-dragged-for-sucking-the-magic-out-of-christmas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">used science</a> to throw cold water on Christmas magic, either. In 2021, his Christmas tweets argued that Santa could not possibly live at the North Pole. &#8220;Since the Northern Arctic is just ocean, Santa’s North Pole workshop has only ever existed on a floating sheet of ice.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tyson also suggested that families should help the rotund Christmas gifter to get his weight under control, calling on them to leave &#8220;carrots, celery, &amp; hot tea for Santa on the table instead of milk &amp; cookies.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2020, Tyson took issue with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/neil-degrasse-tyson-santa-doesnt-know-zoology-rudolph-was-misgendered/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Santa again</a> — claiming that the jolly old elf had misgendered his own most famous reindeer. &#8220;Santa doesn’t know Zoology: Both male &amp; female Reindeer grow antlers. But all male Reindeer lose their antlers in the late fall, well-before Christmas. So Santa’s reindeer, which all sport antlers, are therefore all female, which means Rudolf has been misgendered.&#8221;</p>
