Is there such a thing as a negative refractive index? As there is research going on to make "invisible fibre" is that possible?

Santa Claus would have to put on snow chains as well, that's all.

I added a pinch of salt to your calculations, and all the snow melted ;-s

Hi! Do you know if there is any research on climate change control based on albedo manipulation?

Why do I see steam coming out of poop in winters?

Never seen this in my whole life. Greetings from Bangkok

Obviously you haven't seen it. I live in India where the toilt design is different. Here poop only comes in contact with water if you rotate the flush knob, otherwise it just stays there and you can "observe" it in its purest form.

If your poo is steaming in India(!), you should really change your nutrition!

Actually by "steaming" I mean something like water vapour. It's a pretty interesting thing. It happens to everyone. I'm guessing it only happens when the outside temperature is much lower than the body temperature. I recommend you check it out(for science, you know). All you'll need is adequate amount of light and your poop isolated from water ,and of course low temperature(about 15 degrees C I'm guessing).

Okay, humor seems not to be one of your strengths.

What a terrible question to answer, its gonna be cold easy and obvious answer. There had to be something more interesting about evergreens or reindeer or something goofy about santa

If 12 6 mile diameter meteors hit the earth in each major continent how much debris would fall on everyone roofs before they would collapse. I worried about this scenario that has a probability of .000000000000001 of happening. I think NASA should do something. Now waste your time blah, blah, bla, about this.
