Large Hadron Rap

Rappin' about CERN's Large Hadron Collider! Links below... Apparently YouTube fixed the sound! Still, Will Barras made two options trying to get around the original problems: Other YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/1431471?p... Vimeo is downloadable if you log in. There has been a lot of interest in the original mp3, lyrics, and vocals for remixing. You can find all that here: https://www.msu.edu/~mca pin9/lhc_rap/largehadron.html There's also been interest in translation. You can get a subtitle-free version from Vimeo here (downloadable): http://www.vimeo.com/1730771 With backing track available here (with and without Hawking-style voice): http://barras.ws/rappin.html Go ahead and translate, rap it, and post it! Just give us a shout-out, and it's probably a good idea to include the following credits ;-) Images came from: particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and Marvel I forgot Einstein Online, and they called me out: http://www.einstein-online.inf... And I forgot Physics World (dunno what I was thinking when I put together the extra dimensions bit). Steve Abel set me to rights (but made no demands): http://physicsworld.com/cws/ar... The talented dancers doubled as camera people, with some work by Neil Dixon. Stock footage is CERN's. Will Barras is responsible for the killa beats: http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/~s952... And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap :-) http://www.mchawking.com/ The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer. http://www.katemcalpine.com They'll have a lot of data to sort. 15 million GB per year, actually.

I think that the only way for the LHC to be made into a weapon is to make what I call the VLHC (the Very Large Hadron Collider), which would have the same principle, only the VLHC would have to circle the whole Earth, while instead of colliding lead ions, it collides something like bowling balls, but that's just what I think would be cool, no reason behind it.

when protons collide it makes a vary small explosion. With very little energy involved. 14 TeV couldn't light a bulb.

wow, a hot scientist rapper. I'm in love!!!!!!!!

of course not :) i am chemist and i am also interested ;)
zily88 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
as a biochemist... is it wrong that i'm really turned on by this?
markod22 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
It doesnt make a huge explosion 214, if it did, they wouldnt be able to collide them unless the LHC is disposable.

the LHC can actually have potential into becoming a weapon. when protons collide it makes a huge explosion so it wont be very hard to make it into one. Now u just have to project it somehow through air

ur ghey u dont no noting
justinroxatsocom (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
wow. this is amazing.
