Physics Nerds Rap About the LHC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rock-you-in-the-head dept.

Engadget has pointed out a small band of people even we can consider nerdy that decided to cut loose and demo CERN's fancy new toy, the Large Hadron Collider. The resulting music video is certainly enough to "rock you in the head," and maybe even enough to cause a rip in space-time. Between Alpinekat and Dr Spatzo, I think my iPod just got a new entry.

    Okay, the scientists dancing are tragically white, but the lyrics and graphics rock - even grade-schoolers would 'get it'. This should be teaching material.

    No, no sig. Really.

    YouTube is. Somebody put LSD in the water supply in their programming department, is all I can figure.

    I get the impression that the submitter has never heard any MC Hawking, Monzy, Beefy, Spam Tech Crew, never visited rhymetorrents, etc...the submitted tune is actually a pretty weak and amateurish example of Nerdcore.

      Amateurish?

      At least this song gives a nice explanation of the subject at hand.

      Most nerdcore just goes like "Oooh, let's include the word 'router', and base my song off it!", but doesn't educate in any way.
      Therefor I think this song is what nerdcore should be about...

    could learn a lot from CERN. I think I just learned more in 5 minutes than I did in high school.

    Yes the coolest and most impressive thing about it in my opinion is that it is 99% scientifically accurate and condenses the science into a pretty reasonable and semi complete explanation without losing too much. The only artistic liberty I spotted is that it claims we should spot the Higgs boson straight away which is wishful thinking :)
