Atom smash scientists rap about experiment

In just over a week scientists will conduct the most powerful experiment ever, which some fear could destroy the world.
But how are these dedicated boffins preparing ... by staring in a hip-hop rap music video about it.
On 10 September they will flick the switch on the 17 mile long machine causing atoms to smash together possibly revealing what happened when the universe came into existence 14 billion years ago.
The £4.4 billion experiment has been described as the most important of our time and some fear it could cause the Earth to be swallowed by a black hole.
That said, the scientists at CERN in Geneva seem relaxed about the possible destruction of mankind and got their hip-hop on to create a song about it.
Kate McAlpine, a press officer at CERN provides the vocals on the video 'Large Hadron Rap' which has been watched over 500,000 times.
