When Slicer posted before about revelations from CERN, he didn't have this kind in mind. There has been a trend lately - attempting to use art to communicate the wonders of physics. However, it has come to Slicer's attention (thanks to @WilliamCrawley on Twitter, and to Motherboard) that a link between music and physics is not a new phenomenon. As evidence, he offers the first photo that was ever uploaded to the World Wide Web.
Well there have been some high-profile announcements from CERN, but did you know that physicists had been keeping the most important secret to themselves? Were you aware what LHC really stood for? Did you know that there was a girl band at CERN?! Well if you didn't, you do now... You can read the full story here
It is Slicer's habit to quote lyrics, and this band has some classic ones:
"I gave you a golden ring to show you my love
You want to stick it in a printed circuit
To fix a voltage leak in your collector
You plug my feelings into your detector
You never spend your nights with me
And you don't go out with other girls either
Waa-Waa-Waa-Waa... You only love your collider"
And, in another song:
"Call me on the web
I'll open my Windows to you..."
How you could you say no to that?! They do seem to have the field all to themselves...
'though they appear to be associated with partners with more mass:
and who seem to have some superficial characteristics reminiscent of other exotics:
but they may be of lower energy than the group collectively known as DEVO.
Don't miss the vid of LHC performing "Hey Mr Higgs" after the jump, where you'll also find out about the cross-dressing... Quite a drama...
Slicer is pleased to see that it's not just subatomic particles that interact at CERN but, able as the LHCs seem to be at songwriting, he suggests that they consider a few covers:
"Oooh Baby, I hear how you spend night-time
Wrapped like candy in a blue blue neon glow
Fade away and radiate...
...The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen."
and in a world plagued by decay:
"Love is Love, and not fade away."
