If you have been following the tech news as of late then you are aware that today was a successful test of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In case that means nothing to you, the LHC is a huge collider built in Europe by many countries at an unfathomable cost in order to study particle physics at a level previously impossible.
The news has been quick to report the cost of this collider in billions of dollars, but scientists contend that they should be able to answer questions about the makeup of our world, possibly even about the “big bang” creation of all that we know, with the data they hope to obtain from this device.
Not to be thought of as only “geeks,” some enterprising scientists (with obviously way too much time on their hands) have produced a rap video commemorating this historic event. We present it here for your entertainment:
