The Art and Science of Domino Toppling
Domino toppling is not just a simple pastime; it is a blend of art and science. The intricate designs and patterns created by the dominos require meticulous planning and precision. Each domino must be placed at the correct distance from the next to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted fall. The builders often use computer simulations to plan their designs and calculate the exact number of dominos needed for each segment of the setup.
In this particular event, the theme “Enjoy Your Life” was chosen to inspire viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of life, much like the intricate domino patterns. The builders, a team of 12 experts from Sinners Domino Entertainment and other enthusiasts, spent countless hours setting up the dominos. Their dedication and teamwork are evident in the flawless execution of the fall.
