# [ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/blog/alice-looks-at-collisions-of-lead-ions)

   1st Aug 2008   [Cosmology](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/tag:Cosmology#body-wrapper) [Dark Matter](https://grav.alicesastroinfo.com/tag:Dark%20Matter#body-wrapper)  

I’m long overdue for a post on my new agreement with (or is that understanding of?) the theory of dark matter. I promise I’ll work on it, but till then, here’s a hilarious music video of a new rap song about Cern’s new LHC ([Large Hadron Collider](http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/))

The beginning is great, then you may start to feel like it’s dragging, but if you last through the first 3 minutes or so, you’ll get an pretty cool explanation of this “Higgs” that everyone is talking about.

Found it on [BoingBoing](http://www.boingboing.net/2008/07/31/large-hadron-rap-bes.html).
