The two are almost light years apart, but that did not stop one Michigan State University student from bringing both together and creating a YouTube sensation that has drawn over half a million views already (which is quite small compared to other videos on the net) but anyway’s.

The 23-year-old Michigan State University graduate and science writer raps about the Large Hadron Collider, the groundbreaking particle accelerator that has been built in a 17-mile circular tunnel at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.

McAlpine raps that when the collider goes into operation on Sept. 10, “the things that it discovers will rock you in the head.”

The $3.8 billion machine will collide two beams of protons moving at close to the speed of light so scientists can see what particles appear in the resulting debris.

I would normally explain the video to you, but thought it would be better to for you to watch it yourself. So check it out below, and do not fail to leave your thoughts in the comments.
