The World Ends in Rap? CERN Rap Hits the Tube
Techtree News Staff, Sep 12, 2008 0916 hrs ISTA rap song explaining the workings of the Large Hadron Collider gets the Internet grooving
The Large Hadron Collider went online yesterday and despite fears that the world will end with the LHC smashing atoms and what not; all is well. Or about as well as it has always been. If you are wondering what the big deal over the big bang is, and if you wish to know how the collider works, let this rap song be your guide:
The video explains what the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will do and is a crash-course in gravitrons, curled dimensions, Higgs boson and dark matter. It is shot to a bunch of CERN scientists in white lab coats and yellow hard hats; rapping to a Stephen Hawking-inspired voice track.
"A circle that crosses through Switzerland and France, sixty nations contribute to scientific advance," goes the song. MC Hammer would be proud.
The video has been viewed 2,576,536 times on YouTube and enjoys a 5/5 rating. You can also catch it on Vimeo here. You can read the lyrics here. C-to-the-E-to-the-R-to-the-N...
