London, August 29 (ANI): Thrilled with the result of the decades-long search for the Higgs Boson, a student from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, has composed a acapella 'Rolling in the Higgs'- a parody of 'Rolling in The Deep' by soul singer Adele.
Over 70,000 YouTube viewers have already enjoyed Tim Blais's tribute-in-song.
Blais's song begins with: "There's a collider under Geneva, reaching new energies that we've never achieved before", and then continues to lay out the scientific discovery - with his face popping up every time he starts a new harmony.
He used words like 'gluons,' 'gauge tranformation' and '125 GeV' that are hardly used in pop history in his song, the Daily Mail reported.
As this is a capella, all the sounds in the video come from Tim's lips or throat, and the array of background singers were easy to find - they were all him.
Tim describes himself as a 'harmony addict working on a master's in theoretical physics' who spent 60 hours to create the tribute.
The video has apparently become popular at CERN, the Geneva research facility where the Higgs Boson particle - which underpins the accepted standard model of the universe - was found.
"I'm kind of amazed by the feedback. One student from Spain told me his supervisor called my video: 'The only good thing to come out of the Higgs discovery so far'. I'm flattered," Blais told a foreign news agency.
He is not the first person to the pay tribute to 'God particle' discovery with a song.
A rap titled 'Large Hadron Rap' from Kate McAlpine, a Michigan State University grad on assignment to CERN, has already gathered 7.4million views since it was posted in July 2008. (ANI)
