Santa moves by quantum mechanics, thus the probability is that he is everywhere and nowhere at any given time.

Nah, just rolling down a bumpy hillside in a hippy hat !

Happy Christmas

Sayin' everything is groovy when his tyres are flat...

But then, he has no need of tyres.

Bah, humbug... laugh

Thanks for all the comments. The main thing I have learnt is that questions about the universe are totally beyond me let alone the answers!

My conclusions:

1. I will accept Neil’s word that the Universe isn’t expanding into anything. (I don't know why but I trust Neil)

2. I accept there was no fuse to light for the Big Bang. Apparently it was just an unsafe early model “Arthur Dent “ tea making machine which exploded – he didn’t get the recall notice from the store in time and just look at the unintended consequences.

3. However, the question about Santa does still intrigue me. Aside from how he manages to travel the entire world in one night, make a shopping list for the many billion people he visits and then actually have time to go shopping I simply don’t understand. The one thing I hope I know is that he MIGHT have visited Arc Euro recently and, if so, Ketan may have a clue. I suspect though that Ketan may claim commercial confidentiality as he probably wouldn’t want to upset one of his really good customers!

So it’s back to the infinite probability drive as the only understandable way of solving this little problem. Happy Christmas - Bob
