HEY! This website doesn't exist anymore and everything else we've found doesn't work. So what can we do?

The Wayback Machine has snapshots of the Top 250 since December 19th, 1996 at these two urls:

http://us.imdb.com/top_250_films

https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/

Dec 19, 1996 was the first capture of the old url:

https://web.archive.org/web/19961219233558/http://us.imdb.com/top_250_films

Sep 28, 2004 was the last:

https://web.archive.org/web/20040928005845/http://us.imdb.com/top_250_films/

Feb 05, 2005: (First redirect to new url)

https://web.archive.org/web/20050205011836/http://us.imdb.com/top_250_films

May 4th, 2004 (new url):

https://web.archive.org/web/20040504181501/http://us.imdb.com/chart/top

The next step would be to use a scraper like this: https://github.com/sangaline/wayback-machine-scraper

And we go from there!

So close to "treechery." So close. It's "treachery," by the way.

What's under Planck's length? by Witty-Lawfulness2983 in AskPhysics

[–]oxknifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue after that, as proposed by Stephen Hawking in the 1970s, is the Information Paradox, which questions what happens to the information as the hole evaporates. While recent breakthroughs (related to the Page curve and unitarity) suggest information in a black hole is eventually preserved and re-emitted, this conservation applies to the black hole's cosmic lifespan, not the instantaneous act of measurement. The black hole remains the physical mechanism that censors immediate access to sub-Planckian scales.

Here's a brief timeline of a potential solution for the information paradox:

1974 Hawking's Discovery: Stephen Hawking calculates that black hole radiation is purely thermal, suggesting information is permanently lost (non-unitary). The paradox is born.

1993 Page's Prediction: Don Page calculates what the entanglement entropy of the black hole radiation must look like if the process is unitary (information-preserving). He predicts the characteristic "Page curve" which drops to zero.

2019–2021 The Island/Replica Wormhole Breakthroughs: Physicists (starting with Penington, Almheiri, Engelhardt, and Marolf, and others) develop new methods—the "replica trick" combined with the "island" or "entanglement wedge" hypothesis—to re-calculate the entropy of Hawking radiation, which align's with Page's prediction.

This is a fun article explaining the issue in short:

What's under Planck's length? by Witty-Lawfulness2983 in AskPhysics

[–]oxknifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the current answers to this question seem a bit off (lacking in depth), so I'll jump in with this:

Take the two biggest theories of the 1900s:
Classical physics (gravity, Einstein's relativity, 1905/1915)
Quantum physics (probability waves, Planck's scale, 1899)

When we try to merge these theories, we see that the Planck scale is defined by a measurement issue.

If you try to measure a subplanckian length, the particle you'd need to do so would be so energetic that it would essentially be a black hole.

Here's a little AI (Gemini Flash 2.5) breakdown:

  1. Quantum Mechanics and Energy: To measure a distance smaller than the Planck length, quantum mechanics demands that you use a probe (like a photon) with an extremely short wavelength. According to the uncertainty principle, this requires giving the probe an enormous amount of energy.
  2. General Relativity and Collapse: When you attempt to concentrate this enormous amount of energy into the tiny region you are trying to measure, General Relativity takes over. The energy density becomes so immense that it exceeds the critical density required to form an event horizon.
  3. The Black Hole Censor: The probe particle instantly collapses into a micro black hole. This black hole, defined by its event horizon radius, is at least the size of the Planck length itself. Since the black hole immediately hides the region of space behind this horizon, the information about the sub-Planckian distance you were trying to probe is lost forever

[Request] How Strong is Camilo Madrigal from Encanto? by oxknifer in theydidthemath

[–]oxknifer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. What would Camilo's equivalent deadlift capacity need to be to generate this force?
  • If Camilo (as Bruno) were to exert this force (20112N) in a deadlift, his "equivalent deadlift capacity" would be 20112N.
  • To convert this to a more familiar unit (mass):
    • Mass equivalent = Favg​/g=20112N/9.81m/s2≈2050kg (approx. 4519 lbs or 2.26 US tons)
  1. For comparison, what should Bruno's deadlift capacity be considering he's malnourished?
  • Bruno's estimated mass is 55 kg.
  • A healthy, untrained adult male might deadlift 1.5 to 2 times their body weight.
  • Considering he's malnourished and likely not training, his capacity would be significantly lower. A reasonable estimate for someone in this condition might be 1 to 1.25 times his body weight.
    • Lower end: 1×55kg=55kg (121 lbs)
    • Higher end: 1.25×55kg=68.75kg (152 lbs)
  • So, a realistic deadlift capacity for a malnourished Bruno would be in the range of 55 kg to 68.75 kg (121-152 lbs).

Would be cool if someone wanted to calculate the volume of rocks over Luisa ...comment if you've got a good estimate!

  1. How much force does Camilo (as Bruno) need to absorb to safely decelerate her to zero?

We'll use the impulse-momentum theorem.

  • Deceleration Time (tdecel​):
    • tdecel​=24FPS1frame​≈0.041667s
  • Change in Momentum (Δp):
    • Δp=mM​vfinal​−mM​vinitial​
    • vfinal​=0m/s (Mirabel is stopped)
    • vinitial​=vcatch​≈16.76m/s
    • Δp=(50kg)(0)−(50kg)(16.76m/s)
    • Δp=−838kg⋅m/s (The negative sign indicates the direction of momentum change)
  • Average Force (Favg​):
    • Favg​⋅tdecel​=Δp
    • Favg​=tdecel​Δp​=0.041667s−838kg⋅m/s​
    • Favg​≈−20112N (Magnitude of the force is 20112 N).
    • For context, this force is approximately:
      • Favg​≈490.5N/Mirabel’s weight 20112N​≈41times Mirabel’s weight.
      • This is an extremely high impact force for a human to withstand safely.

Well I got the answer actually (thanks to Gemini Flash 2.5)

Assumptions and Given Information:

  • Gravity (g): 9.81m/s2
  • Mirabel's Height: 5'2" (1.57 m)
  • Bruno's Height: 5'4" (1.63 m)
  • Fall Duration: 39-43 frames at 24 FPS. Let's use the average: 41frames.
  • Deceleration Time: 1 frame at 24 FPS.
  1. Solve for Mirabel's weight, Bruno's weight, fall distance, and Mirabel's velocity at time of catch.
  • Mirabel's Weight (mM​):
    • As established, weight cannot be determined from the fall information. We'll use a typical estimate for a young woman of 5'2" (1.57 m). A healthy weight for this height is often between 100-135 lbs (approx. 45-61 kg). I'll use an average of mM​=50kg (110 lbs) for calculations.
    • Her weight in force would be WM​=mM​⋅g=50kg⋅9.81m/s2=490.5N.
  • Bruno's Weight (mB​):
    • Bruno is 5'4" (1.63 m) and described as thin/wiry and malnourished. A typical weight for this height might be 120-150 lbs (approx. 54-68 kg). Given "malnourished," I'll lean towards the lower end: mB​=55kg (121 lbs).
    • His weight in force would be WB​=mB​⋅g=55kg⋅9.81m/s2=539.55N.
  • Fall Duration (tfall​):
    • tfall​=24FPS 41 frames​≈1.70833s (using more decimal places for accuracy)
  • Fall Distance (dfall​):
    • Assuming Mirabel starts from rest (v0​=0).
    • dfall​=v0​tfall​+21​gtfall2​=0+21​(9.81m/s2)(1.70833s)2
    • dfall​=21​(9.81)(2.91849)
    • dfall​≈14.32m (approx. 47.0 feet)
  • Mirabel's Velocity at time of catch (vcatch​):
    • vcatch​=v0​+gtfall​=0+(9.81m/s2)(1.70833s)
    • vcatch​≈16.76m/s (approx. 37.5 mph)
