It is theorized that annually on Dec. 24, these conditions occur at the North Pole, which is the earth’s center of rotation and also a point of convergence of its electromagnetic field. When this happens, a rip literally develops in the fabric of time, allowing Santa to slip through. Until he returns back through the rip, time stands still for the rest of the world. He can take as much time as he wants to deliver the packages, and to us, it seems like it was done in the twinkling of an eye. How does Santa know where children live, and what gifts they want? Although old- fashioned letters to Santa still work, Silverberg and his students speculate that the Jolly Old Elf also has a strategically placed multigrid receiving antenna system that picks up electromagnetic signals from children’s brains. Sophisticated signal processing methods are then used to filter the data an
