In this episode of Game Theory, the host explores the Five Nights at Freddy's series and specifically examines the "bite" that killed William Afton's son. He uses real-life research and physics to determine if it's possible for a normal animatronic to crush a child's skull. He concludes that it's unlikely for a regular animatronic to generate enough force to cause such damage, requiring around 1,900 psi of pressure. By approximating the surface area of Freddy's teeth, he calculates that each tooth would need to deliver around 14,758 Newtons of force, equivalent to the bite force of a full-grown crocodile. This leads him to believe that William Afton intentionally designed the animatronics to be deadly, contradicting the original theory that the bite was a freak accident. The host suggests that Afton's twisted experiments and creations were the cause of his son's death, making him a madman from the beginning.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The video discusses the science behind the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.
2. The creator is analyzing the bite of 83 or 87 incident in the game.
3. William Afton, the creator of the animatronics, suffered a tragedy when his son's head was crushed in a childhood bullying incident.
4. The son died of his wounds in the hospital, setting in motion Afton's quest to "put him back together".
5. The bite incident is treated as a freak accident, but the creator is questioning whether it was truly an accident.
6. Pneumatic actuators are used in animatronics, including those in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.
7. The pressure required to fracture a human skull is approximately 1900 psi or 13 mega Pascals.
8. The force required to crush a child's skull is equivalent to the strength of a full-grown crocodile or great white shark.
9. The creator calculates that the surface area of Freddy's teeth is approximately 11.26 square centimeters.
10. Using this calculation, the creator determines that each tooth is biting down with a force of approximately 14,758 Newtons.
11. This force is equivalent to the strength of a full-grown crocodile or great white shark.
12. The creator concludes that William Afton intentionally designed the animatronics to be deadly, even before the spring-lock mechanism was added.
13. The movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's has been canceled and then found a new production partner, Blumhouse Productions.
14. The creator is excited about the movie adaptation, citing Blumhouse Productions' track record of making successful horror movies on a low budget.
