Rappin' about CERN's Large Hadron Collider!
The sound should be slightly better on this version - we've tried to get round YouTube's new extreme audio dynamic range compression by layering a 20kHz sine wave over the top of the soundtrack.
Images came from:
particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and Marvel
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:

The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer.

November 22nd, 2008 at 12:25:54 naifmulhim, please don't use the word "gay" as a derogatory term in place of "bad." Plus, I think nerdy scientists rapping is about as funny as you can get.
