The LHC Rap

~The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest and most expensive experiment in the history of human science. Its purpose is to smash tiny particles together at speeds near that of light, in hopes that the collisions will momentarily produce new, never-before-seen particles that may help to explain fundamental mysteries of physics, such as the cause of mass and the nature of dark matter.

But that's a bit hard for most people to grasp, so here to explain the LHC better than I ever could is the legendary Large Hadron Rap:



^ This has nearly 6 million views of YouTube.

Some scientifically illiterate morons...I mean, some perfectly reasonable people believe that the collisons caused by the LHC could create a black hole that could destroy the Earth, or open a wormhole into another dimension, etc. Not to worry; this scenario has already been covered. Should the unthinkable occur, this man will take care of it:

^ Who is he, you may ask? He bears a suspicious resemblance to Gordon Freeman, protagonist of the Half-Life games:


As you can see from the short video summary below of the first two Half-Life games, should the LHC go out of control and disgorge horrific monstrosities from a parallel universe, GORDON FREEMAN will do whatever is necessary to stop them.

^ "Blah blah blah, Mr. Freeman."
