    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

    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.

      ​@@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.

    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!!
