Sorry, I think the geek in me is showing. Basically, they accelerate matter to near the speed of light, run the particles into eachother, and see what kind of stuff comes out when they hit.
That was shockingly good. I was all set to laugh at its badness, but I ended up impressed at what a good medium rap is when the lyrics are intelligent. I'm having a total "Square One" flashback. ^_^
But I feel kinda ashamed, because every time I hear about these things I think of "Angels and Demons". ... and then, the guy falls out of a helicopter... why Dan Brown, why!
Square One Television was a show I watched as a kid -- it uses sketch comedy to teach math. One of my favorite parts was the music videos for songs about math-related concepts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_One_Television
"Angels and Demons" is a novel by Dan Brown, the same guy who wrote "The DaVinci Code". In it, antimatter was stolen out of the Large Hadron Collider as some kind of doomsday plot, and the protagonist has to recover it with the help of a (attractive female, of course) nuclear physicist. The book both better and worse than The Davinci Code -- it's over-dramatic, but fun and interesting, for most of the book -- and then near the end it just jumps the shark (right around when the protagonist falls out of a helicopter and somehow is practically unhurt.)

How did they store the antimatter?
