large hadron rap - alpinekat lyrics

[intro: computer voice]
ahh yeah
i’m about to drop some particle physics in da club
da lhc is supa dupa fly
you know what i’m saying?
check it

[verse 1]
twenty-seven kilometers of tunnel underground
designed with mind to send protons around
a circle that crosses through switzerland and france
sixty nations contribute to scientific advance
two beams of protons swing ’round, through the ring they ride
’till in the hearts of the detectors they’re made to collide
and all that energy packed in such a tiny bit of room
becomes m-ss particles created from the vacuum
and then

[chorus]
ahh yeah
lhcb sees where the antimatter’s gone
alice looks at collisions of lead ions
cms and atlas are two of a kind:
they’re looking for whatever new particles they can find
the lhc accelerates the protons and the lead
and the things that it discovers will rock you in the head

[verse 2]
we see asteroids and planets, stars galore
we know a black hole resides at each galaxy’s core
but even all that matter cannot explain what holds
all these stars together something else remains
this dark matter interacts only through gravity
and how do you catch a particle there’s no way to see?
take it back to conservation of energy
and the particles appear, clear as can be
you see particles flyin’, in jets they spray
but you notice there ain’t nothin’ goin’ the other way
you say, “my law has just been violated!
that don’t make sense!
there’s gotta be another particle to make this balance!”
and it might be dark matter, and for the first time
we catch a glimpse of what must fill most of the known ‘verse
because…

[chorus]
lhcb sees where
the antimatter’s gone
alice looks at collisions
of lead ions
cms and atlas
are two of a kind
they’re looking for whatever
new particles they can find

antimatter is sort of like matter’s evil twin
because except for charge and handedness of spin
they’re the same for a particle and its anti-self
but you can’t store
an anti-particle
of any shelf

cuz when it meets its normal twin
they both annihilate

matte turns to energy, and then, it dissipates

when matter is created from energy
which is exactly what they’ll do in the lhc
you get matter and antimatter in equal parts
and they try to take this back to when the universe starts:
the big bang

back when all the matter exploded
but the amount of antimatter was somehow eroded!
because when we look around we see that matter abounds
but the antimatter’s nowhere to be found
that’s why….

lhcb sees where the antimatter’s gone
alice looks at collisions of lead ions

cms and atlas are two of a kind
they’re looking for whatever new particles they can find

the lhc accelerates the protons and the lead
and the things that it discovers will rock you in the head

the higgs boson, that’s the one that everybody talks about
and it’s the one sure thing that this machine will sort out

if the higgs exists they ought to see it right away
and if it doesn’t, the scientists will finally say

“there is no higgs!
we need new physics to account for why things have m-ss.”

“something in our standard model went awry!”

but the higgs; i still haven’t said just what it does

they suppose that particles have m-ss because
there is this higgs field that extends through all space
and some particles slow down while other particles race
straight through, like the photon

it has no m-ss but something heavy
like the top quark
it’s draggin’ its —(!)

and the higgs is a boson that carries a force
and makes particles take orders from the field that is its source
they’ll detect it…

[chorus]
lhcb sees where
the antimatter’s gone
alice looks at collisions
of lead ions
they’re lookin’ for whatever
new particles they can find

now some of you may think that gravity is strong
cuz when you fall
off your bicycle
it don’t take long
until you hit the earth
and you say,”dang that hurt!”

but if you think the force
is powerful
you’re wrong

you see. gravity
it’s weaker than weak!

and the reason why
is something many
scientists seek

they think about dimensions
we live in just three
but maybe there are others
that are too small to see

it’s into these dimensions that gravity extends
which makes it seem weaker here on our end

and these dimensions are rolled up, curled so tight
that they don’t affect you in your day-to-day life

but if you were as tiny as a graviton
you could enter these dimensions and go wandering on
and they’d find you…

[chorus]
lhcb sees where
the antimatter’s gone
alice looks at collisions
of lead ions
they’re lookin’ for whatever
new particles they can find

the lhc accelerates
the protons and the lead
and the things that it discovers
will rock you in the head

[outro: robot voice]
ahh yeah
our understanding of the universe is about to change
