Large Hadron Rap

This is fascinating ... I learned so much about particle physics
listening to this song! And I didn't even know that it was such an
interesting subject.

Thought I'd pass it along for anyone who has always wanted to
understand the basics of particle physics but didn't want to have to
read an entire textbook <g>
I am often behind on these things so I may be posting old news. If so,
sorry in advance.

Thanks for this!
As it turns out, my dh & I were going out last night and were looking for
something to do. And I found this in the newspaper:
From the Big Bang to Dark Matter: Turning on the Large Hadron Collider
On September 10th, the Large Hadron Collider will begin operation by
sending a beam of sub-atomic particles around a 17-mile underground
tunnel beneath the boundary of France and Switzerland. Ultimately the
experiment will provide fundamental discoveries about our universe.
Come hear University of Arizona physicists discuss their participation
in the historic experiment and explain how the world's largest
scientific instrument will reveal secrets about our world. Lecture by
Elliott Cheu Associate Dean of UA's College of Science, UA Professor
of Physics, and member of the Large Hadron Collider-ATLAS team
So we went and learned fascinating stuff about the universe and the
questions they are hoping to answer with the collider.
The collider might even be able to create microscopic black holes!
Or not. It sounds like some really basic questions about the universe might
get answers within the next year or so...
Elliot Cheu concluded the lecture by showing this very video!

i didn't see if anyone responded to this, but apparently several scientists tried to prevent this from happening because of the (small) chance that it could actually cause the end of the universe as we know it! lol!
