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://... http://... 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.htmlThere's also been interest in translation. You can get a subtitle-free version from Vimeo here (downloadable):http://... backing track available here (with and without Hawking-style voice):http://... 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 MarvelI forgot Einstein Online, and they called me out: http://... 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://... 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:http://... thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap :-)http://... rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer.http://... have a lot of data to sort. 15 million GB per year, actually.

Yeah, great! I should be working with those guys...seems to be great fun :)

Hm, I thought we lived in 3+1, but one intrinsic property of the fourth being that you are only able to move in one direction..

Three physical dimensions, one time dimension. We live in the four dimensional union of them all. Or maybe more...

actually we live in 3 dimensions, but our 3 dimensions are affected by the fourth and vice versa (even the gravitational force affects the flow of timel ! If we lived in 4 dimensions then you could walk back and forward in time... "bitch"
