This video shows off some really cool domino tricks. And, there is some interesting science and physics behind it:
Mathematicians have traditionally assumed that no domino could knock over a neighboring domino more than about one-and-a-half-times its own width, height, and thickness, or a “growth factor” of 1.5. But there was no overarching mathematical model. So, when last year’s annual Dutch National Science Quiz TV Show, run by public broadcaster VPRO, asked how many dominoes it would take to topple a domino the size of the 112-meter-tall Domtoren — the tallest church tower in the Netherlands — van Leeuwen set out to calculate just how much punch a falling domino packs.
Let’s check out these amazingly cool dominos in action in the video on page 2
