HOW STRONG IS THE MIME?
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.
To finish off this post, here’s actual footage of mlscience staff celebrating the irreplaceable landmark that towers over the city that we all know and love.

mlscience:

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.
Some more calculations regarding the Chemistry and Physics of the composition of the Eiffel Tower can be found here: http://www.thechalkface.net/resources/melting_the_eiffel_tower.pdf
It’s still pretty big.

Every now and then, one or two posts get reblogged around tumblr and mlscience gets a few new followers.

We’re very much inactive right now, but I sure do miss working on mlscience!

Have fun reading our old posts, new followers!

mlscience:

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!!!)

Sun, 04 Aug 2019 21:24:43 +0800

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? ;)].

-Admin AT

[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?]

MLSubbing's First Anniversary!

Sun, 02 Oct 2016 15:05:06 +0800

mlsubbing:

Hello my Ladybugs and Tomcats!
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!
- Jae

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

Here’s to another miraculous year!

Miraculous Ladybug Fandom Map! 🐞

Sun, 03 Apr 2016 08:01:36 +0800

ladynoir-aka-life:

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!

@ariaricx @teammiraculous @toriitorii @official-ladyblog @agreste-dupain-cheng @ladyofacat @ladybugcatnoir @ladymagic-ladyluck @snapchatnoir @themiraculousarchive @miraculousdaily @myladynoir @superheroladybug @bugoffkitty @baraschino @fuckyeahladynoir @kittychat-ladybug @a-cat-and-his-love-bug @miraculosblog (this is all the miraculers I could think of off the top of my head) Please could you guys add a marker and reblog this? It will really help ❤️

Miraculers, please like, reblog and share this post (and add your marker to the map) so we can have a Miraculers map!

Mlscience has been given access to the data in this map!

We will use this data to improve the Miraculers Plotting Project.

See this post for more details.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Sat, 02 Apr 2016 16:42:33 +0800

@mlscience has teamed up with @ladynoir-aka-life to bring significant improvements to the Miraculers Plotting Project!

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.

alphatoronado:

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.)

-Admin AT

Update: We’re still not done with this.

Who knew determining exact percentages of the mass lost during the cut was so difficult?

Anyway, if everything goes well, expect a full post to appear by the end of March.

(Shout out to @wikkedwolff for helping with translating some parts of the book, and to @slibinass, who is sharing the neural load with me)

Answer the Miraculers Plotting Project while you wait, if you haven’t already.

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 (??)

Short answer: Please view this other post.

-Admin AT

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?

Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:21:20 +0800

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.

mlscience: If Adrien and Marinette had children, what eye color...

Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:59:36 +0800

mlscience:

If Adrien and Marinette had children, what eye color would they have?

(Graphic made by @azurajae. Click to enlarge.)

It’s time for mlscience’s first actual post! This topic is actually the thing that started it all. A few days ago in the mlsubbing chat, we stumbled upon the topic about what color Marinette and Adrien’s children would be. The result is the above graphic.

Using the beauty of the basics of Mendelian inheritance and Punnett squares, we concluded that if Marinette and Adrien were to have a child, there’s a 50% chance of it having green eyes and another 50% chance of getting blue.

(Click “Keep Reading” for the full explanation.)

Keep reading

UPDATE (3/11/2016): ‘Jackady’ has proven our hypothesis that Adrien’s mom has Green or Dark eyes!

The original post has been updated with a couple more Punnett squares of the Agreste family’s eye colors.

(Click “Keep Reading” above and scroll down to view the addition.)

“Adrienette” apparently shouldn’t have an e according to your triangle chart… But your “pie” chart says it should have an e… Which one is it?

Fri, 11 Mar 2016 11:39:30 +0800

(The post in question.)

(Correction: The triangle chart shows that it should have an ‘e’, and the swatch chart from the previous survey shows that it shouldn’t.)

The “pie” (swatch) chart was a representation of the responses from the previous ‘Ships Ahoy!’ survey. If you would look closely, it’s the same chart.

During those times, ‘Adrinette’ was only very slightly preferred over ‘Adrienette’, making no clear conclusion on which version is “correct”.

This time, however, ‘Adrienette’ is preferred by more people. While there is no actual solid rule on whether it should be spelled that way or not, the more recent data suggests that more people accept ‘Adrienette’ than ‘Adrinette’, which still has many supporters, and is about equally accepted.

As a rule, more recent data is more accurate than old data, so the conclusion that “Yes, ‘Adrienette’ has an E” is drawn from the fact that more people spelled it with an E. ‘Adrinette’, with its large number of supporters, is still acceptable.

You can spell it however you want, but more people spelled it “Adrienette” when the survey was conducted in February.

Ships Ahoy! #2:[FEBRUARY LADYNOIR] Results! (Infographics made...

Wed, 09 Mar 2016 22:36:59 +0800

Ships Ahoy! #2:[FEBRUARY LADYNOIR] Results!

(Infographics made with Piktochart.)

This is a bit late, but the second ‘Ships Ahoy!’ survey results are here! This survey can be seen as a ‘sequel’ to ‘Ships Ahoy #1: [LADYNOIR]’.

All results were collected between the 1st and 26th of the month of love, February 2016! A lot has happened since then, so while these results may not reflect current opinions, they are accurate to that time period.

If you didn’t get to answer this survey, check out @mlscience and our research page!

This same survey will be reconducted in about a month, so we could provide a picture on how the fandom’s preferences and opinions change over time.

We also launched the BOX OF FREEDOM with this survey! Click “Keep Reading” to view some of the responses that caught our eyes.

(View this image in High Quality by clicking here.)

Of course, none of these are ignored! We will adapt the next ‘Ships Ahoy!’ surveys accordingly to your suggestions and continue to provide these kinds of information via @mlscience .

Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:36:21 +0800

Eh, if you really want my answer, the canon reason is just Clark Kenting. Astruc has also confirmed that their vision is totally normal, and the “bug vision” is more like a visually-shown thought process than what Ladybug literally sees.

I’ve been taking part of both the first and the current Ships Ohoy, and I think it’s a fun and interesting project^^ I was just wondering one thing; how often do you do a Ships Ohoy and how long does it last? Just curious^^

Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:54:39 +0800

The ‘Ships Ahoy!’ surveys currently have no set schedules; however, we do try to send them out around a month apart, and the previous two lasted about a month as well. They are intended to be kind of a way to measure the state of the ships within the fandom, so they will be sent out every now and then.
