MLSCIENCE IS BACK, WITH MORE CALCULATIONS AND LOTS MORE EIFFEL TOWERS.
This post has been in the works for around half a year now, with the first concept being produced way back when the episode “The Mime” first aired in South Korea. Since then, hiatuses and personal stuff prevented mlscience staff and contributors from focusing solely on this project (and a couple others), but it’s finally here.
Today we focus on the important question: How strong is the Mime?
To do this, we calculated approximately how much of the Eiffel Tower he cut off, and therefore how much of the Eiffel Tower he carried in those few seconds of the most epic scene in the first season of Miraculous Ladybug.
And to do that, we needed some statistics of the weights of each part of the Eiffel tower. It was a long search, but eventually, we found the best possible reference: this online copy of “La tour de trois cents mètres”, written by Gustave Eiffel himself, published in the year 1900, and filled with technical and scientific observations about the tower and the external forces that affected its design and engineering.
And then we had to recreate the slice of the Eiffel tower and calculate how much of each part remained on the tower, and how much was sliced off. For that, we created this spreadsheet (please click it), and our calculations can be summed up from there and this image:
As you can see, given the difficulty of calculating based on every single piece of the Eiffel tower (we were gonna do that but we couldn’t find a source for the weights of every single piece), we simply made educated guesses based on what’s visible, counting the pixels of the areas that remained and those that were sliced off, and moving along from there. (Do note that while there are differences between the ML universe Eiffel Tower and our actual Eiffel Tower, we used the dimensions and specifications of the real Eiffel Tower, for the sake of simplicity.)
Now, these are extremely rough estimates (so give or take up to 250,000kg), and they’re nowhere near exact, but these numbers give us an idea of how much the Mime can carry with his akuma powers:
The part of the Eiffel Tower that remained after the slice weighed around 4,838,619 - 5,011,352 kg (10,667,329 - 11,048,140 lbs).
The part of the Eiffel Tower that was sliced off (and, therefore, held up by the Mime) weighed around 4,688,138 - 4,860,871 kg (10,335,575 - 10,716,387 lbs!).
The angle of the slice relative to the ground is about 38 degrees.
That means the Mime carried close to 5,000 Tonnes of Eiffel Tower. STRONG.
Now, the reason that these numbers are so wide in range is because Eiffel himself put two different tables in his book (he claims within the book that it “wouldn’t make a difference” because it was only due to the inconsistencies brought by the revolutionary elevators), and so we had to calculate using both sets of information. In fact, the second set of info was off by 400 kg, and we had to provide yet another set of information. (All of which are seen in the spreadsheet.) Surprisingly, the part that was cut-off and the part that remained both were really close to each other in terms of mass; almost equally splitting the Eiffel Tower’s almost 10,000 tonnes to two parts of around 5,000 tonnes each.
So there’s our answer. The Mime can carry at least 5,000 tonnes, or around 5,000,000 kg, or roughly 11,000,000 lbs. That’s pretty strong.
And once again, the Eiffel Tower has helped @mlscience produce answers to these all-important questions. We love you, Eiffel tower.
@wikkedwolff for helping translate some parts of the book from French; and @slibinass for being the goddess of productivity that pushed us to make this happen.
We here at mlscience will be back with more content soon!
The Eiffel tower is Paris’s most recognizable landmark, and is of key importance to @mlscience. So far, the Eiffel tower has been used in three separate calculations as a reference (one of which hasn’t been posted yet!). Really, we wouldn’t know what to do without it.
Melting the entire puddle iron structure of the Eiffel Tower (which means this excludes the stone foundations, paint, etc.) and compessing it into a big ball would give you this.
The sphere would have a volume of ~935,000 Liters and would weigh ~7,300,000 Kilograms.
The Sphenoid bone is part of the human neurocranium, a collection of bones in the skull that forms a protective case for the brain. It is located behind the eyes.
Perhaps the most striking thing about this bone is how it resembles a pair of bat or butterfly wings, like this:
It kinda matches the shape of the communication mask thing Hawkmoth uses as well:
Hi! I’m so sorry to bother but I was wondering if you had an educated guess on how tall Luka is? If it’s not to much trouble; thank you very much! (also your blog is super cool!!!)

Hi, Admin AT here. As of right now, mlscience is inactive and defunct for the past few years. We haven’t had the time to come together and find and create new content.
I am considering redoing the height analysis projects in the future (if my time allows; Engineering University is not very good for my free time).
With that being said, please be reminded that the heights listed in our popular posts are not canon and are only very loosely based on the show’s model of the Mona Lisa (which may not be made at a 1:1 scale), and are not entirely correct. We are unaware of any character’s canon heights; however, once these are made available (if ever) then we many be able to use those as a baseline for everyone else’s heights.
For now though, consider those past measurements as flawed and mlscience as effectively down [unless someone else would like to help me run it? ;)].

[P.S. As I was writing this post (and after watching Puppeteer 2), I realized that the Grévin Museum in Paris has realistic wax models of Ladybug and Chat Noir. Perhaps those could be used as a reference, hmm?]
As of October 1, 2016, it has been a year since MLSubbing has sprung into action. We have changed a lot over time. We had our difficulties, but we pulled through. It’s amazing to think that this blog is really one year old! I remember the time when we only had 20 followers and barely any content, and the times when the miraculous fandom was a small bunch who watched live streams of ml and awaited our subs! It’s really a joy to see the change!
So! I would like a moment to give thanks to all the members of mlsubbing! Without any of these members, we wouldn’t be able to make MLSubbing like it is today!
And of course, the blog wouldn’t be the same without our followers! So thank you all who follow MLSubbing for your support. Thanks to you guys, we were able to do amazing things! Even sending a gift to Papapillon for his birthday! Who would’ve thought?
So again, thank you all for all your support! Let’s look forward to the future and for more Miraculous things to experience!
Happy Birthday, MLSubbing! Stay Miraculous!

Happy birthday, mlsubbing! Without you guys, mlscience wouldn’t have existed.

Hey guys! I saw something like this for the Girl Meets World fandom and I thought I’d do one for the ML fandom. It’s basically a map where you plot where you are in the world so we can see which miraculers live close to you and which ones live far. It’s also so we can see how widespread we are across the world!
1. Click this link. It will take you to a screen which looks like this:
2. Go to Additions, third from the left on the bar underneath the ZeeMaps logo, and then click Add marker - Simple
3. A box looking like this:
should appear on your screen. Then just type in your url, location (example Spain or Florida, USA or Paris, France) and a picture if you want. In the description write what languages you speak. Choose the colour of your marker then click submit.
4. Your marker should then appear in the location you chose like so:
and then you’re done! Yay!
I would really like this to be successful so we can see the spread of Miraculers across the world!
In her post here, she outlines the instructions on how to place yourself on a world map, to create a complete map of the Miraculous Ladybug Fandom (here)! Even Hawkdaddy’s in it.
In an effort to extract more accurate data, the Miraculers Plotting Project will now input geolocation data from the Miraculous Ladybug Fandom Map to create a more accurate study!
In line, these changes will occur:
The MPP will no longer create a full map plotting all Miraculers; the Fandom Map takes care of that quite well.
Instead, the MPP will create new maps that will represent the data gathered more meaningfully, including a map of the metropolitan cities with the most Miraculers, US states by Miraculer Population/Density, Miraculers per country, etc.
The MPP may be released later than expected, on late May or early June 2016. The MPP’s results are delayed indefinitely until further notice.
Of course, the MPP gathers more data than just geolocation, including age and gender, so if you haven’t yet, go answer it here! And if you haven’t placed yourself on the fandom map yet, do so by following the instructions on this post!
We hope that the fandom will enjoy the information that will eventually be released!
Also, watch out for Ships Ahoy #3! It’s gonna be our biggest yet.
This is what the Eiffel Tower would look like if Ladybug never fixed it in “The Mime”.
(Software Used: SketchUp Make)
(Eiffel Tower model made and made accessible on the 3D Warehouse by Damo, and modified by yours truly.)
Note: Those thick black lines on the cut don’t actually exist.
Well, I spent some time on this.
This post is somewhat of a “preview”; all this 3D modeling is part of a bigger mlscience calculation. And yes, it is about the Eiffel Tower.
We recently found some wonderful sources for our calculations, mainly Gustave Eiffel’s book “La tour de trois cents mètres”. That discovery was wildly celebrated in the mlscience chat.
(I spent four days trying to understand and execute 3D software for this.)
Q:Are you sure that Marinette's parents eyes are "undoubtly" brown? To me Tom's eyes look green that barely have any "brown" undertone, while Sabine's look dark grey and they're quite neutral in color (??)
Q:wow wow wow your infographic is so beautiful and you obviously work so hard on this blog. are you by any chance working on a chronological order of the episodes as well?
It’s currently not on our list of priorities, but it is interesting!
Some of us have actually been analyzing some parts of the episodes for a while now, so this “complete Season 1 timeline” is a big possibility.
However, it’s more of a history thing than a science thing (even though the science of Chronology exists). It will probably end up not on @mlscience, but on our sister blog, @musee-de-miraculous, or in our personal blogs (since it’s already determined by @miraculoushawkdaddy that the episodes can be arranged however a fan likes it, therefore making it more of a…”personal” thing) in the future, most likely after Season 1 ends. It might be reblogged to mlscience though.
This blog is managed by fans of the CGI show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. This blog will focus on mathematical and scientific findings and analyses related to the show and to the show's fandom.
