CERN scientists perform rap to explain the LHC on YouTube

As the scientists start work at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at CERN, they have recorded a rap song to celebrate. The video that goes with the rap has been posted on YouTube and has had more that 2.5 million hits in less than a week.

In the video you can see the scientists in white coats dancing in the collision chamber, the rap was written by Kate MacAlpine whose rap name is Alpinekat and she is a trainee at CERN.

Kate said she wrote the rap on her journey’s to and from work, and then the staff all got together to do the video, Kate said the scientists hope that it explains what goes on at CERN, with lyrics such as “Twenty seven kilometres, a tunnel underground, Designed with a mind to send protons around.
We have to wait 30 days for the first atom smashing will take place at the LHC, which is reported as the world’s biggest scientific experiment.
