LHC Rap about the Higgs, Dark Matter and more
September 7, 2008 by sean.
Rap about world’s largest science experiment becomes YouTube hit [via Daily Telegraph]:
After 14 years, the European particle physics lab near Geneva, known by its French acronym CERN, is preparing to switch on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), designed to seek out new particles including the long-awaited Higgs boson responsible for making things weigh what they do, the possible source of gravity called dark matter, as well as probe the differences between matter and its “evil twin” antimatter.
Now a larky but accurate rap song explaining the point of the 17 mile circumference machine, which formally starts up on September 10, has made a star of Kate McAlpine, 23, aka “alpinekat”, who stars with her friends in a YouTube video that has been downloaded more than 400,000 times.
