RE: 250,000 Dominoes and 3 World Records: Incredible Science Machine
What a testimony to the patience and resolve of the human spirit. Talk about tedious work. Thanks for the upload. I viewed about 5 minutes of the video and was memorized watching those dang plastic pieces fall. Why the heck is that SO dang gratifying?!?
I know, right! It's just incredible. I couldn't look away. Maybe something about our desire for order within chaos and the inevitability of it going back to chaos again. Entropy at work, or something.
Maybe we're waiting to see a failure, for something to go wrong. Or maybe it's based on how the pleasure centers of our brain enjoy having an expectation and then experiencing its fulfillment.
Either way, it's pretty dang cool.
