Wired’s Best LHC Videos
Wired Science has a collection of the best LHC videos. My favorite is the TED Talk with Brian Cox, He really sells the hell out of the LHC. This guy lives and breathes scientific discovery.
And my least favorite is the Funny or Die video. While I am not such a loser that I cannot laugh at myself or science geekyness in general, I kind of feel the same way as Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy does about other, satirical, end of the world type videos. I posted about his article Uncritical Thinking Skills before but I think it deserves another mention.
I am not saying that it is not silly, I just think that it is not so funny to some people because they really are afraid of the LHC. Bonus topics for discussion: What can be done to help these people? Do we have a responsibilty to educate them? Are they even interested?
