For a behind-the-scenes look at this video, check out my Podcast: dominouniverse.libsyn.com/01-t...
If you set up a row of dominoes as a timeline of history from the Big Bang to now, and had each domino represent 1 million years it would stretch over 300 meters long. I know because thats what I did for this video. The universe is very old.
Here is some making-of-dominoes footage, if you're wondering how this universe came to be: • The Making of Dominoes

You only needed 0.02 dominos because the earth is only 20000 years old

Imagine someone commenting a million years later being like
"add another domino"
YEESSS THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COMMENTS ON UA-cam!!
Hats off to ur imagination!!
i was about to say this 😭😭😭
nice
nice pfp
They started falling at 1:21 , and endet at 10:38 ... and the very last milisecond represented everything humans ever experienced. Wow
ended*
I thought only those three dominoes are the dominoes used by humans?
Humans have been around for a lot more than a thousand years. You mean the last half-second.
and there are millions of dumbasses who deny this history
Marco Rigau just count how many fall in half a second
You should have waited another 1 million more years so the title can be 13800 dominoes
Ahmad Mohannad I know right hahah
Yep
or the universe just extends by 1 million years
underrated
Assuming anti-aging medication works out incredibly quickly and we find a way to prevent random health events like heart attacks it's very possible he could have waited 1 million years
You could just tell how nervous he was about forgetting his lines, losing time explaining things or stepping on some dominoes. Praise to you sir, this is quite a feat.
I can hear your profile pic
Wait is this a joke becuz you said *losing time explains things* *OR* stepping on it some dominoes you use your feet to step on something like you said feat almost like feat
Who wouldn’t be nervous This must have taken so much effort to propose this idea and set it up props to him
Correct

This channel is severely underappreciated. This project clearly took weeks of planning and stressful set-up and perfectly illustrates Its message. I don't understand how this hasn't gotten more attention than it already has. I feel like it should be shown in history or science classes, but I believe it would be too general to be shown to a class.
But still, It's an interesting video that all nerds like me should watch. It's amazing.
Thank you! This was my first stressful project of many. My life has been getting weirder and weirder ever since :/
Too general to show in a college level class maybe, but this is exactly the kind of thing that should be shown to children and help foster a curiosity and wonder about the world (and universe!) around them
@@Whitsoxrule1 Agreed! I just watched the video and I really think I would have loved this and would have become way more interested in science if I'd seen it when I was still in school, maybe when I was 14-15. I found that the school classes I took were pretty out of context, if that makes sense. Like, they tell you how to answer exam questions but not the bigger picture.
I have seen a lot of: timelapse of the universe video’s but this one made me realize the best how insignificant we are. So small in such a vast space.
Flip Burger *videos. You do not need an apostrophe to pluralise the word "video", or any word for that matter.

@@flipburger2361 I don't remember saying that you asked. I was just correcting you
Albond but why. So useless and unnecassery

it's called: a typo.
This person’s dedication to help others see and spread the beauty of the universe astonishes me and is something I dearly respect.
Thanks Muhammed!
Kurtis Baute its the truth! Love your work, man.
I love how giggly and excited he is during this video, you can tell the dude loves this shit
True story. Science is the best.
Also it is so cold in the warehouse below zero I think
that, plus walking and talking like that - it's a miracle he didn't throw up half way
@@ScopeofScience I am totally introducing my nerd partner to this channel. :D Great video!
Yay so glad I saw you on Tom's channel, this is brilliant!
This video should be titled "hold on to your butts as I show you how insignificant humans are"
What an amazing video!!
Oh sorry the Camera ran out of batteries. Let's do it again!
It was so cold in the warehouse (ie. below freezing) that the batteries in one of my cameras got cold and died... This was a Serious concern of mine. I was so terrified.
@@ScopeofScience lol
@Shreerang Vaidya As he said, he made it in a warehouse.
I love how he ended it by saying ''humans think''
That was an alright ending but it would've been better if he said "dinos die, primates climb, elephants browse, and I did this in one take"
samee
Yes, humans think they can rule the Universe when we are an insignificant speck with control over nothing really, lol!!
"humans think" = first human spirits' are incarnated into the most evolved animal bodies. What an amazing plan 🌠
most of them
Every time he walked too close to the dominos my anxiety started kicking in
He’s still hearting comments? The dedication
Fine, fine. :)
This is one of the most creative educational videos on UA-cam
Thanks!
I was looking for your comment somewhere
Taikamuna go back to comment awards
The earth was not started or a big bang
Of course, you of all people watch this.
Hey this is awesome! Was cool to see you mention the endosymbiotic theory.
Thanks so much! Its been a blast :)
always cool to see a channel i watch comment on a ideo i'm watching :D also, it was cool indeed.
Did you see his video on Tom Scott's channel? It suggested a mechanism for which humans intelligence could be getting nerfed in the Anthropocene update!
Making a video with the full patch notes for the universe is hard work
TierZoo. Do you think the admins will ever nerf Humans? I hope not because I play as a human class but the class is so dominate that other players are beginning to complain.
4 days of setting up dominos and preparing for an awesome representation on the universes timeline
*knocks down last domino*
hey kurtis! just wanted to thank you for making this amazing educational video for us, your hard work is fully appreciated!
"Hey, what's that thing covering the lens of the camera?"

The camera guy should have pranked him by saying ‘whoops I forgot to record’ 😅
Biggest oof in the chat
He cannot cause he knows that he will indeed see stars form ...😂

This is probably one of the best videos I’ve watched. Never have I seen a better way to rap my head around just how old the universe is. It’s easy to say a big number but to visualize and contextualize it is amazing
I can now say,
This guy is underrated
I had less than 1000 subscribers when this came out
I love your enthusiasm when it comes to science.
Science RULES! :D
@@ScopeofScience +
Kurtis Baute When your video was uploaded 1 year ago yet your still active
Quite literally
Why did you recommend this to me?
god forbid that this man had bloopers
Carson K This was all done with one take and there’d be no way that he’d be able to retake it. I also just want to add that he was probably under huge pressure because retaking the video would be very difficult since you would have to set up all the dominoes again and he didn’t seem to have any notes prepared which he could read the information from. The mistakes were also really minor so yea
*Imagine the cameramen accidentally slips and fall on the Dominoes while walking back at the beginning...*

OMG this was fantastic, I really apreciate how you dedicated so much to make such a video. Sadly it only lasted 13 minutes, but it's like people say, everything that's good lasts too little THANKS BRO
This was amazing! As a huge science nerd I love that you put so much effort into the project, from making and setting up the dominoes to the research and presentation, the dedication is insane. You just earned a sub, love the vid man.
*I feel bad for the cameraman*
Why?
@@3li3lite42 because he is the cameraman

He’s not the one that has to explain all of this I feel bad for kurtis
**Has massive earthquake before setting the last domino down**
Earthquake: I'ma end this man's career. >:)
Or someone just slams the door to hard
*Time:* Goes backwards.
Ah Ha ! It’s not just me that thought of this
So not only that domino but a ton of dominos would fall and time goes crazy
13.8 billion all of a sudden 6 billion then 2million and so on
You did such a good job and put in so much work just to share this with everyone. Thank you so much for that!

*Pushes first domino*
*What did I have to say again?*
Easy, kick a section of the domino chain out of the way and restack

Woooeeee
Just break the chain really quickly
Would be bad if it happened during the middle of the timeline, the first few dominoes arent that bad

Great video Kurtis! Love your channel!
I am just seeing this video today (8/27/20) and this is amazing! I love how you were able to give a context for time passing, which is very difficult to truly understand. Thank you for this video and I appreciate all of the hard work it must have taken. All in ONE take too! Excellent work!!

Your life (about ~100 years- humans live less but whatever) isn't even long enough to see the Domino tipped at a 0.01° angle.
I can't believe I just found you and your channel! This is easily the most absorbable and enjoyable universe time-lapse I've ever seen. Must have taken so much time and effort to set up, this deserves so many more views! Can't wait to watch everything else on your channel, thankyou for the amazing content!
Religion be like:
7 dominoes to represent the days of the creation of the universe
More like 1/1^1000 of a domino which is close to molecular size
7 days represents how God created the universe. Time is relative
@@elr4f436 there's actually a religious theory called compatiblism. It takes the 7 bday creation myth and translates it into the idea of "days" just being measures of time, not actual, 24 hours. So the "days" could stand for the millions of years that it actually took!
@Alma S
I would quip “It means it took God 7 days to set up the dominoes of the universe” but it doesn’t really make sense
Josh Hsu Christians actually doesn’t believe that God created the world in 7 days. 7 just represents a lot of things in the Bible. It’s just a poetic pattern that the Bible writers used. They don’t literally believe it was created in 7 days.
you're like quadruple-tasking
Most. Stressful. Nine. Minutes. Ever.
1.- Domino
2.- Story-telling
3.- Walking in sync
4.- Demonstrating in sync
Incredible video! What a great use of dominoes as a metaphor for the timeline of our universe. I must say, building all those dominoes in 4 days is quite impressive for someone who does not typically build! I also love how you incorporated other elements with the narration like the volcano experiment, sparklers, and other props. It’s definitely evident that you put a lot of time into this and it really shows! Plus, to memorize all of this and perform it so well in just one take is very impressive. Well done!! Going to share this on my twitter! :)
Thanks so much. Means a ton coming from you! It definitely took a lot of *time* haha But seriously, thank you - when I started to research the feasibility of this project I definitely binged hard on your videos. They helped me get rough estimates for how long they would take to set up and to fall down, and then I decided to go for it :)
Hey Lil :)
Hevesh5, I was just about to ask Taikamuna if they‘ve seen you in this comments section! 😂
Hi love you vids
Who else was afraid of that he was going to accidentally hit one of the dominoes and it was going to all topple down?
For some reason I got teary eyed when you said: «now the universe can see»
