Can A Domino Topple A Skyscraper? 😨

If you create a set of dominoes where each piece is 1.5 times larger than the previous one a simple push from your finger can trigger a chain reaction toppling larger and larger dominoes this happens because in theory when each domino falls it transfers its energy to the next one and as the dominoes get bigger the force grows just enough to knock over the next larger piece if you somehow manage to continue scaling up each domino by 1.5 times eventually you’d have a domino as tall as a skyscraper in theory your small push on the first tiny domino could deliver enough force to bring down the building

So basically one small domino (potentially) has the power to destroy the universe

I saw this kind of thing in the movie Robots.

A chain of dominoes can topple a skyscraper... I guess that's right, providing the skyscraper is as unstable as a domino. Anything with real foundations will probably be a bit harder to topple

[DaniyalMir-wgzp]

The real question is who's gonna setup those dominos

"bro its not even my fault, i didn't do anything"
What bro did:

[cq.cumber_offishial]

me making one singular seemingly insignificant choice completely unaware it will irreversibly ruin my life

[jonathonsmith]

It's called potential energy. The energy is reserved from when you move the piece there

[ZoveRen]

Not perpetual motion, just potential energy

For those who are wondering why this happens, each piece accelerates due to gravity, so the force becomes stronger and stronger, which makes it strong enough to push the next piece

[GamerHitman]

Small one: *"I'll do it later"*
Large one: *"Why I have bad grades?"*

[MagdalenaMartides]

Thats true because size doewnt always matter bit the force and pounds it has to jave to bromg the force

littarly every french person at the end: BAN DOMINOS BAN DOMINOS BAN DOMINOS italian guy hearing wrong: BAN DOMINOS PIZZA

[rraiderr]

, ,Energy cannot be created or destroyed., , why can it then push the big ones? Is it the power of gravity?

[itachik]

The force that you'll need to put dominoes there💀

[starrisawesome]

I love the set of dominoes don't you love set of dominoes Domino's

[gwalker]

That is something it's so amazing how things that you can never imagine that is capable of doing until you see it in action

[JayaPandey-rf]

That's why it's called the domino effect

[dimensionlord]

This reminds me of the movie "Robots"

[Gradefixer]

Bros talking to me like I'm actually gonna do it

[MaskOfCinder]

Pretty sure air resistance and wind speed would become a factor at those sizes and make it either easier or far harder to knock them over.
