Today, I am here to present your with a video! Note its "a video" not videos. So what video have made its way to Science4Freaks today. It has something to do with Science indeed. It is the Large Hadron Rap that has became a huge place of interest world wide presently.
Bringing you.. The Large Hadron Rap done by Kate McAlpine on You Tube
CERN in 3 Minutes
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Who says science doesn't turn people on? Kate McAlpine is a rising star on YouTube for her rap performance _ about high-energy particle physics. ADVERTISEMENT
Her performance has drawn a half-million views so far on YouTube.
The 23-year-old Michigan State University graduate and science writer raps about the Large Hadron Collider, the groundbreaking particle accelerator that has been built in a 17-mile circular tunnel at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.
McAlpine raps that when the collider goes into operation on Sept. 10, "the things that it discovers will rock you in the head."
The $3.8 billion machine will collide two beams of protons moving at close to the speed of light so scientists can see what particles appear in the resulting debris.
"Rap and physics are culturally miles apart," McAlpine, a science writer at CERN, wrote to the Lansing State Journal in an e-mail last week, "and I find it amusing to try and throw them together."
Others, including physicists, also find it amusing.
"We love the rap, and the science is spot on," said CERN spokesman James Gillies.
McAlpine received permission to film herself and friends dancing in the caverns and tunnels where the experiments will take place.
"I have to confess that I was skeptical when Katie said she wanted to do this, but when I saw her previous science rapping and the lyrics, I was convinced," Gillies said. "I think you'll find pretty close to unanimity among physicists that it's great."
McAlpine honed her physics rapping skills at Michigan State's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, where she was part of a student research program two years ago.

Apparently there are many videos on YouTube that has negative remarks on this project that would be operating on the 10th of October. They say that it could cause a black hole or even the reason for the end of the world. There are also people who says particles are too small to kill you, however, some of us do know its not true. Especially when it comes to Anti-Matter.
The anti matter when comes in contact with a matter particle, would create an mini-explosion/reaction that gives off heat and light. It has potential to release immense amount of energy when in contact with matter, potentially enabling miniature warheads of pinhead-size to be more destructive than modern-day nuclear weapons. An antimatter particle colliding with a matter particle releases 100% of the energy contained within the particles, while a hydrogen bomb only releases about 0.7% of this energy. This gives a clue to how effective and powerful this force is.
