No one knows what real heaven is like, or even if it exists. Come to this
place recognizing that this is but one specific interpretation. I see these
other reviews criticizing it for its Christian-centric roots as if the
creators had any obligation to be secular and all-inclusive. If you want to
find your own personal idea of heaven, then either build it yourself with your
own two hands, or do the same in a virtual environment. I mean, what did you
expect, that this would be all for you, or that your concept is the best one,
and we should be following that one instead? The point of this dome is to
simulate to the best of science’s ability to simulate conditions of a heaven
that was purported to be in the clouds. That’s not real, folks. You can’t walk
on clouds. I don’t know if real Christians of the past were just dumb enough
to not know that clouds aren’t solid objects, or if they thought that God was
magic, and he could let you do anything just ‘cause. Still, it’s a powerful
image, a cloud city in the sky. How do you even do that? Well, you start with
an aerogel matrix that extends the entire area of an upper level of the dome.
So it’s solid, but still soft and cushiony, which you would expect a cloud to
be if you could somehow walk on it. Below that is a layer of clouds.
I’m not sure if they’re real water vapor clinging to the aerogel ceiling,
because that would not be out of the realm of possibility. Above the aerogel
surface is a dense fog that you wade through. I think that was really
important, to suggest that the floor of a magical cloud isn’t just like a
bunch of pillows lying next to each other. This fog is supposedly the lighter,
whispier cloud “material” (suggesting again, that clouds aren’t condensed
water vapor, but some sort of independent stuff that you can grab onto, like
cotton). You actually kind of can grab this fog, so I think it’s made of
nanites, but you won’t be able to carry it around with you. It sort of melts
and drifts away? It’s a funny feeling, you should try it. They really thought
it through in a fun way. And to explain, you can push this fog away from you
with your hands. And you can push away the lower level of the clouds below you
by punching the aerogel surface. That would seem to suggest that the lower
level clouds are nanites too, not real. This whole cloud layer is
around two kilometers up in the sky, which is where real clouds like this
would be. Below that is land. I don’t think it’s a hologram. I think it’s
really what the bottom of the dome looks like. I can’t see anyone walking
around down there, but I’m wondering if they’ll let people in one day, so
there can be two sections. Perhaps you combine Heavendome with two different
layers, and the lower one is just regular people who live on “Earth”. Or hey,
what about a third layer? The one underground could be a Christo-centric
version of Hell. That would be insane. I’m not sure who would go down there,
but it could be scary in a fun way, like Bloodbourne. For now, though, we only
have Heaven, and that’s good enough. There are other components for ambiance,
like rays of light, pearly gates, and “angels” with wings. They’re pretty
stunning creatures, and often exhibit traits of a slightly more universal
definition of anyone’s heaven...if you know what I mean. They don’t speak, and
I don’t think they can really fly, but they really add to the ethereal vibe
that they’re trying to evoke here. Overall, I give it a five out of five. It’s
not really a place that you live, so you might as well take some time to check
it out.
