Cool Physics experiment

Video Rating: 4 / 5

Rappin’ about CERN’s Large Hadron Collider! Links below… Apparently YouTube fixed the sound! Still, Will Barras made two options trying to get around the original problems: Other YouTube:www.youtube.com Vimeo: www.vimeo.com Vimeo is downloadable if you log in. There has been a lot of interest in the original mp3, lyrics, and vocals for remixing. You can find all that here: www.msu.edu There’s also been interest in translation. You can get a subtitle-free version from Vimeo here (downloadable): www.vimeo.com With backing track available here (with and without Hawking-style voice): barras.ws Go ahead and translate, rap it, and post it! Just give us a shout-out, and it’s probably a good idea to include the following credits ;-) Images came from: particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and Marvel I forgot Einstein Online, and they called me out: www.einstein-online.info And I forgot Physics World (dunno what I was thinking when I put together the extra dimensions bit). Steve Abel set me to rights (but made no demands) physicsworld.com 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: www.ling.ed.ac.uk And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap :-) www.mchawking.com The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer. www.katemcalpine.com They’ll

    @rogeriofraxe Good point

  2. rogeriofraxe says:

    @Buntonatar basically because you put Omfg l33t c0ol ass vid

  3. 897833234 says:

    SO AWESOME!!!!!

  4. MirageScience says:

    @Buntonatar physics teacher around the United States have been showing this the past 2-3 years xD maybe that’s why? I’m sure most teachers don’t even know the name of this thing. xD

  5. kamakaze112 says:

    @Buntonatar no clue but its cool :D

  6. gooodkoneko says:

    @Buntonatar sound and wave unit-8th grade science, but it still is really cool anways

  7. highvoltagefeathers says:

    @Buntonatar cause its cool.

  8. g30rge93 says:

    omg this would ve soo cool at a pool or beach party =p~

  9. KimchiIsGood says:

    thats tight!

  10. PayaBear says:

    What happens if you change the length or width of the pipe? Can you drill larger holes, too? Just put them further apart? More gas? I guess I just want to know the possible scale. Can the pipe be curved?

  11. kanaga6432 says:

    It’s really awesome!!!
    Yeah my lecturer show this to us in our college!

  12. Baconatorrr says:

    @Buntonatar I think this was on Mythbusters at some point, but I’m not too sure.

  13. curlyara says:

    @Buntonatar why not? cheers

  14. OpossumXT says:

    really cool

  15. sandworm78 says:

    neat o!

  16. Kampex says:

    WHOOOOOAAAA RADICAL

  17. dozza92 says:

    having that those at a party would be so sik.

  18. ohwello says:

    @Buntonatar because everyone loves cool experiments, and music moving fire is about the coolest combination of things in the entire world. good work.

  19. ILoveKelsey25 says:

    Pretty cool man :)

  20. Tobiasz931 says:

    It should be called dancing flames experiment ;D
    Physics may be boring, but when flames are included it becomes awesome :D

  21. TheBernauld says:

    @Buntonatar This is kind of cool actually

  22. aryanfernandez says:

    kool a mundo…

  23. Queenmania2007 says:

    That is fricking awesome XD

  24. fatalfflaw says:

    spiffy! that was fun! I guess ‘fire’ by the crazy world of arthur brown was too obvious a choice for the heavier music huh?

  25. meinLiebsterFeind says:

    Sweet!

  26. Jayravchan says:

    Check out the vid “Welcome to the physics class!”

  27. laxterpl says:

    @Anthonyk312 Yes

  28. laxterpl says:

    @Anthonyk312 Yes

  29. sharikabierce93 says:

    hmzlooking for some fun if you know what i mean just msg meh

  30. Anthonyk312 says:

    @1981busch

    wikipedia
    google
    the library

  31. Anthonyk312 says:

    @York22

    It will find things, a lot of things. Just watch the video THEN comment, and you will understand what the LHC is for. Almost everything we know about particles is from particle colliders (even electron microscopes can’t go down to this level). The LHC is the best one built so far, so it will discover much more.

  32. 1981busch says:

    does any one know where I can find information like this, which is not intended for fifteen year olds.

  33. Anthonyk312 says:

    Can you store an antiparticle on an antishelf?

  34. Sewermonger says:

    @LolCaramelz They use large magnets to control a beam of protons. Kind of like a gun barrel is used to control the bullet as it goes down the barrel. The bullet is the bunch of protrons. Two bullets going around the ring and they watch the collisons of the tow bullets to see what happens.

  35. aRHinG313 says:

    what’s the other dimension, don’t know the part about ‘rolling up’, ‘dimension’, ‘graviton’@@~!?

  36. abdullazeidan says:

    @xyTJxy 0.0

  37. gschjetne says:

    @wealthman777 But what do they have to do with particle physics and this video?

  38. wealthman777 says:

    @gschjetne weel the fremasons are a very cultic organization under the quise of being do gooders investigate them

  39. ValRice1 says:

    Hey have driven past it! Would’ve popped in if knew this was going on!

  40. fallenxion13 says:

    Awesome

  41. biohazardrose says:

    I might be going to tour the LHC in a month or so. I’m not sure if I’m going to go unless I can meet Alpinekat!

  42. emilkst says:

    @MrMunber xDDD im not a nerd its very strange see engeniers dancing

  43. gschjetne says:

    @wealthman777 Freemasons?

  44. inuyasha5114 says:

    how does LHC@home work?

  45. maruda38 says:

    THE BEST SCIENTIFIC RAP EVER MADE!!!!!
    Just expleining everything about LHC. LOVE IT!

  46. wealthman777 says:

    I like it too cool a great way to let people know what (Cern) and freemasons are up too! Cern is a collection of the world’s top scientists

  47. romeoracz says:

    finally some fun

  48. metrx330 says:

    I’d just like to clear up something for those who keep asking what was before the Big Bang. Think of the universe as a globe. Assume the North Pole is the beginning. Now image yourself standing on the North Pole. I’m going to ask you now to face due north. Can you do it? The problem is every direction you face is due south. The origin of the universe is similar to this. There was nothing before the big bang but a singularity. Everything radiates “due south” from that point.

    Better than Wayne LOL

    i love this song it wierd
