... until the LHC is switched on, and science is either revolutionised or tweaked, we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, here's a YouTube clip definitely worth watching...

LHC Rap

I know, I know.... usually I feel the same hatred for rap music I reserve for people who crunch crisps and nachos through movies or talk at the theatre, but this rap is a work of genius. It actually explains a lot of the science behind the project, and you can... shock horror... hear the words!!! Keep watching to the end credits, v funny what it says about the dancers... laugh.gif

Today (10 Sep) the first beam of protons will zip through the new LHC at the Cern near Geneva, Switzerland. There seems to be a live telecast on http://webcast.cern.ch/index.html starting at 9am CEST.

I'm having a good chuckle at some of the doomsday scenarioes that people could think of! My favorite: It will create a black hole that will eat up Europe ... but, apparently, not the rest of the globe. Got to go to Istanbul, the Bosporus bridge must look, well, you know, half in a black hole unsure.gif
