CERN's Large Hadron Collider explained in rhythm and rhyme [Nerdcore]

Posted August 12, 2008 4:21 PM

From Valleywag:

Do you lay awake at night worried that physicists tinkering in Geneva at the new Large Hadron Collider might destroy reality as we know it, or are you hoping they open a portal to a parallel dimension that just happens to have really hawt aliens? I do. Both. If you don't, let Will Barras and friends take you on a ride in their ode to the search for the Higgs boson. Mad props for the Stephen Hawking shoutout on the hype track.

I hate when they do corny stuff like this. It cheapens being a physicist. Yeah, I know, I'm supposed to have a sense of humor about it, right? Except it's lame.

Anyone know how the picture below is related to that god awful youtube clip?

I don't worry about it.

If they manufacture a mini-black-hole, it'll all happen so fast we will never know.

Anyway, I have a far better place to go to, when I leave this Planet.

Kind Regards....
