A CERN researcher has marked the pending launch of the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva with a tribute physics rap video entitled “Large Hadron Rap”. With almost a million views on YouTube, the video of scientists dropping beats (and slant rhymes) while explaining particle physics with lines like:
“When matter meets its normal twin, they both annihilate / Matter turns into energy and then dissipates.” The Collider is the largest ever built, and is looking for new particles, namely the Higgs Boson “God Particle”, the only particle in the standard physics model yet to be observed. Physicists hope that by observing the boson, they can finally understand how a photo without mass (and the resulting electromagnetism) differs from the W, Z bosons (and the resulting weak force.)
