    Rapping About The "Earth Destroyer" (or Large Hardron Collider)

    You know...I really am afraid for my life...no seriously...i just peedSpeaking as someone who is working on a personal invention, that and i'm a huge nerdwad when it comes to particle collisions and what not. The Large Hadron Collider is something i've been keeping my eye on since early this spring. True, there is a chance that the Earth can inherit stranglets produce mini-black holes in the very lab where this is being tested [the CERN lab]. There are a number of pros and cons and I feel the more I try to explain this truly 'great moment' in science; the more it sounds like it could be the end of us all.  Its hard to communicate to people that we could find out the inner workings of gravity or even gain ground on the "Big Bang Theory". 

    But then there is a young lady named Kate McAlpine from Michigan who writes about science regularly. She made a rap about the LHC and initially when I heard this, I put two and two together pretty hastily. Nerd Science Journalist + Rap = TERRIBLE. Boy was I wrong...peep the video for yourself after the jump.

    McAlpine raps that when the collider goes into operation September 10, "the things that it discovers will rock you in the head."
    The $3.8 billion machine will collide two beams of protons moving at close to the speed of light so scientists can see what particles appear in the resulting debris

    That is probably the best way we will ever see that explained.  I'm happy it was in rap form.

    Actual comment from a high school physics teacher:
    "The fact that I think this is Uber cool proves how much of a nerd I truly am... do you think I could have the students do a rapping physics project and perform it for the administration?"

    You are changing childrens' lives in hilarious ways.

    Also, note extra nerd points for using "uber."

    Glad you liked. The dancing in this video represents everything that is Uber.
