Geeks Physicists in Geneva are within spitting distance of completing work on the Large Hadron Collider, a ridiculously massive proton accelerator designed to shine light on some of the peskiest remaining questions about Life, the Universe and Everything.

The NY Times reports that parties are imminent: … “In the meantime the armies of physicists that have built the machine’s two giant detectors, called Atlas and C.M.S., have planned start-up parties in October, and CERN is planning a big event on Oct. 21.”

What’s more, a science writer who works on the project has made a rap video about neurons: Says the rapper:

“My friends took a bit of convincing before they’d dance on camera … However, unlike the first rap video about the neurochip, there was no tequila involved.”
