Ok. It’s time for Santa Science.
Hold on to your beard and hat.
🧵 (1/7)
Santa has to visit around 600 million kids in 24 hours (32ish due to timezones) but anyway. To get to this many houses Santa travels SO fast he experiences TIME DILATION.
Santa moves SO fast time slows for him. (Einstein’s Theory of Relativity) (2/7)
So BOOM due to slowed time, he can get to all those houses! On top of this, he would age slower AND shrink in size due to time contraction. The size of an object shrinks the faster it goes. Guess which jolly man can now fit down a chimney? (3/7)
How fast would Santa need to go? The number we got is 10.7 million km/ hour. Is that possible?
Light travels at 300 000 km per second. So Santa only needs to travel 1% the speed of light and as we said above he’s going far faster. (4/7)
Can the sleigh hold all the presents. Ok good question. This is where we may need some advanced physics. Using the 600 million kids and an average present mass of 2-6kg that would make his sleigh weigh at least 1.2 billion kg. Can the reindeer pull the sleigh??? (5/7)
Let’s just take a second to agree that the reindeer can fly AND the sled is moving more than 1% the speed of light. Also that one of the deer has a luminescent nose.
It’s totally plausible the reindeer manipulate dark energy to avoid the laws of gravity. (6/7)
Dark Energy is pushing galaxies away from each other with physics that confound the laws of gravity. Flying reindeer can be explained with the ability to harness this undetectable force.
So Santa just uses Science!

What makes a dog so friendly?
Is it training?
Is it the breed?
One theory is....love.
Find out why on The Super Pawesome Science Thread!
#TSPST a spooky dog in a sheet. Just kidding he love you.
This story and theory are from the book Dog is Love by Dr. Clive Wynne (@caninecognition) and research by Bridgett vonHoldt.
Shoutout to the scientists that made this wholesome thread pawsible!
Let’s get into it!

@caninecognition Science is pretty unanimous when it comes to dogs.
They are unique in how they interact with humans.
A good many scientists feel dogs can understand us in ways other animals can’t.
They can follow a point and hold our gaze.
This is coded in their DNA. a puppy looking to the up and left with a setting sun behind her

On August 16th Bunsen had life saving surgery.

The surgical team preformed amazingly, and Bunsen made it.

They did mention that that Bunsen may need a blood transfusion during surgery...and that got me thinking.

I know NOTHING about dog blood. Image
Just like humans, dogs have different blood types, but their system is a bit more complex.

Dogs have over a dozen recognized blood types, but the most clinically important are the Dog Erythrocyte Antigen (DEA) types. Image
The most significant blood type is DEA 1, which can be either positive or negative. Image

The dog's nose is thousands of time more sensitive than the human nose.
New data shows it is EVEN more remarkable.
This news is HOT HOT HOT!
#TSPST A happy dog in the snow and ice
The dog nose, in a current study, shows the ability to detect thermal radiation.
That’s fancy words for heat.
The conclusion is dogs can "SENSE" warm objects! A golden retriever in the snow and ice
Wait!
How many animals can detect weak, radiating heat?
Few.
We are talking some types of snakes, vampire bats and weird beetles called black fire beetles (which we should do a thread on later)

9 Secret Exercises The Fitness Industry Doesn't Want To Tell You.
Burn Calories and Build Lean Muscle.
All you need is a dog.
🧵
1. Give Me Back The Sock
This exercise works out your core as you wrestle a sock away before it's mangled. The back and forth motion blasts your abs, and the franticness of not wanting to lose another piece of clothing gives you the urgency to power through the burn.
2. OMG COME BACK HERE
This is pure cardio. You’ve left the door ajar and your dog is gone. This exercise is running to retrieve the dog before it gets a chicken or is hit by a car. Increase the difficulty by doing this in your bathrobe and crocs.

Here are SEVEN fun facts about dogs that will blow your mind!
#TSPST A Berner sitting on a beach with a setting sun behind him.
1. Each dog nose print is unique!

Human may have fingerprints, but the dog nose is unique.
This isn’t just wishful fun thinking, it is a fact!
No matter the sample size, dog nose prints never repeat.
Just like the personality of dogs. ❤️ BOOP! A dog is getting his nose booped

2. Your dog’s paws smell like corn chips

Dogs don't wear shoes so microorganisms get into their feet.
Dogs sweat from the pads of their feet and this sweat is the perfect place for bacteria to grow.

As a team, my wife and I grew our Instagram account by 765% and our Facebook account by 6200% in one year.

Ok. Click bait title over, but let's talk social media.

Yes, it isn't our usual science or dog post, but I think many of you will find this interesting. Image
Our account here on "X" has plateaued over the last two years, and despite working on amazing content which usually does really well with thousands of likes, we haven't been pulling in new followers.

Initially this stung, but I then realized it was totally ok. Image
We have a huge community here that we are so grateful for, and I love posting and making content of our dogs and science stuff. We did well.

BUT- we have hit the max amount of people on this platform that connect with our content.

Let's talk numbers. Image
