    The creator, Tim Blais, is a self-professed harmony addict who is currently working on a master's degree in theoretical physics. On his Facebook page, Blais describes the venture as “an educational and utterly nerdy online video project.”

    The cover is chock full of informative lyrics, such as:

    There's a collider under Geneva Reaching new energies that we've never achieved before Finally we can see with this machine A brand new data peak at 125 GeV See how gluons and vector bosons fuse Muons and gamma rays emerge from something new There's a collider under Geneva Making one particle that we've never seen before.

    In the channel's description, Blais notes his past, and asks: "What ELSE was I going to make a YouTube channel about?"

    Touché.
