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:http://www.youtube.com /watch?v=T3iryBLZCOQ
Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/1431471?p g=embed&sec=1431471

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:
https://www.msu.edu/~mcalpin9/ lhc_rap/largehadron.html

There's also been interest in translation. You can get a subtitle-free version from Vimeo here (downloadable):

With backing track available here (with and without Hawking-style voice):

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: http://www.einstein-online.inf o

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): http://physicsworld.com/cws/ar ticle/print/403

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:

And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap :-)

The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer.

They'll have a lot of data to sort. 15 million GB per year, actually. Want to get involved and donate your computer's downtime? Try LHC@home:

Richard Feynman on the electromagnetic spectrum.

a second or third gen PAL VHS dub of a vintage original off-air NTSC VHS tape, then captured and compressed and found on a torrent site. squashed, re-compressed and converted for YouTube. all sorts of obvious video and audio problems, but at least it's here, a special treat from the past. anyone with better source, please drop a comment.

in the meantime, point your 1/8" black-holes at this nice piece of tape of The Chief.
