Particular physics
Aug. 10th, 2008 12:56 amLots of you, especially of the nerdier/geekier variety like me, love science. But even those who have a pretty good understanding of science, especially physics, might have a bit of a tough time comprehending the more esoteric ends of the field. Quantum physics is like that. If you dont study it, most likely it might was well be Greek.
The folks who designed and built the Large Hadron Collider, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), know that the typical human would not know much about their big circle in the dirt, and the stereotypical 'Merican redneck would probably think "demolition derby" upon hearing the name of the facility. To make things a bit easier for the layman, a cool little video has been put together by some of those uber-smart folks that work in that field. But it's not your typical, boring science video. Not at all.
It's a rap video.
For those of you who's eyes glaze over when trying to figure out how a particle accelerator works, tell me if this little ditty makes it a lot clearer. And tell me that this could not be more nerdcore.
