Fer shizzle, dem shorties gave it up for the gangsta rap brothers! Now dem rapper bros done know how to make a universe or at least a black hole. man. peace out.
White physics nerd rap is a hoot.
This has already been posted here a while ago…

I figured I’d just call in sick today. My excuse is that I’m feeling taller.
#3 eyeofnewt – That’s a stretch. 😉
#4 Bravo
This is the most entertaining song I have heard in a while.
that was actually rather good.. but it’s not gangsta rap, more like playful rap white people do.
What if rap collides with classical music in the LRCC? Will we be doomed?
[Duplicate comment deleted. – ed.]
it was stupid the first time it was posted here, not dvorak quality.
#7 joe – I believe the result would still be “CRAP” music. get it…Classic + Rap = CRAP…uh..ok I’ll shut up now.
I’m gonna get me one of those Large Hardon Colliders when the price comes down. When I do, look out Laura!
EOT, you know, wow, looks to me as if you have, yikes… A TEMPERATURE. You’d better check. If you have a temperature, you really should stay home.
#6 – I think they intended for children to be able to watch this in science class. They wouldn’t even say “ass” in the video.
Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet? Check out link below for the answer.

When in insurance company calculates risk ,it’s
in the form of probability of disaster vs damage
costs. If a growing black hole only has 1 chance
in many quadrillions, isn’t it still a dumb idea
to go ahead?
For years the main feature of a black hole was,
it ‘eats’ everything and can only get bigger.
Now that wheelchair guy ‘says’ it uses Hawkings radiation to evaporate using the
dimentions beyond the 3 we all belive in.
Well it’s Bin Laudens last chance to redeame himself.
Damn, we didn’t go boom.
Let’s not waste this chance. Let’s announce that CERN did produce a small black hole but that the earth will not implode for a year or so as the thing grows. Every subsequent tremor can be hailed as final incontrovertible proof of certain doom. (Scientists are clearly good at this sort of thing already.) We’ll then build a vast space ark and put all the world’s really important people on it. Strong men, diplomats, would-be tsars, senators, bureaucrats, celebrities with causes…. Mars would be too close a destination considering the unlimited appetite of a black hole so the light of humanity would have to be sent to a star so distant that, alas!, there would be no way they could make it back.
(With apologies to Douglas Adams)
Darn, the earth didn’t fall into a black hole! Now I can’t sleep late tomorrow. I have to get up early and go to work.
I also have to worry about over eating and getting fat!

*********************************
It’s theoretically possible for the entire atmosphere of earth to dissappear into space in the next few seconds if the random motion of all the gas molecules all aligns radially away from the center of the earth. This is the order of probability that scientists are talking about. The problem is that they’re scientists so when asked if it is possible for a runaway black hole to be generated, they feel compelled to answer this yes or no question with a yes. If they were politicians they would just lie and say no.
Regardless, I challenge anyone here to explain why it matters if in the next 20 seconds the entire world dissappears.
#19–you challenge: “Regardless, I challenge anyone here to explain why it matters if in the next 20 seconds the entire world dissappears.” ////
There is an old story about Harry who had the reputation of never getting laid. Bad for a man in his thirties and otherwise successful. An acquaintence spotted Harry sitting alone at the bar nursing a drink but with a Big Smile on his face. The friend said “Hey Harry what with you not getting laid at all, what are you smiling about?” Harry said, “Oh, that old rumor. Its not true. I get laid on my birthday every year.” Friend says, “Why that is just terrible. Why are you smiling?”
And Harry says, “Well my Birthday is Tomorrow.”
So–if you perceive yourself as having positive reasons to live, those reasons give tomorrow a reason for dawning.
Don’t be so self centered.
#19 you don’t get it. When you’re dead it doesn’t matter. It only matters that you can reflect upon it now while your alive. Don’t reflect upon it. Savor the experience when as reality disassociates you’ll be one of the only people on earth that knows what is happening. Then nothing. Less than nothing.
