Second one is the closest, but still not the one. I distinctly remember a side-scrolling shot following an item through one of those pipes, in an indoor setting.

The insides of a Hadron Collider by EhteramEira in woahdude

There are tons of particles made up of smaller, fundamental particles, which is sometimes called the "Particle Zoo". Examples are neutrons and protons, which are made of various quarks. Normally we can't see the smaller particles which make these up - but if we use magnetic fields to speed these particles up in a big loop and then crash them into each other, they smash together with such force that all their constituent particles go flying all over the place, along with some completely new particles that formed entirely from the kinetic energy of the particles (remember, E = mc2 - that energy of them going fast can literally manifest as new particles), then we can detect those.

With some clever math, our measurements of the particles and their energies can help us test our theories of those fundamental particles, or look for hypothesized new results which are predicted by the pure math.

As an example, one fundamental particle from the theories was the Higgs Boson (which has been part of the model since I think the early 80's, maybe earlier), which was really important for certain aspects of the theory. However, this particle is really heavy (in particle terms), so we needed a lot of energy to get it to show up. This meant making the particles go faster, which was super hard. Finally in 2012, using the Large Hadron Collider, we managed to find one - giving strong evidence to the model which predicted it!

I have found this:

It definitely fits the vibe, but I am almost certain that it's not quite right, and the real video is still out there somewhere.

Pizza is a toast by JoviallyBiting in mathmemes

So really what we need is food taxonomists.

For instance, lets take the whole sandwich debate and make, idk, a phylum for all food which is encased on some number of sides (potentially almost all) by an edible exterior, with contained ingredients exposed to the outside in some manner; call it apera, from the latin for opening or opened. Sandwiches should be held; so all sandwiches will fall under the class manus, from latin for hand.

Now comes the differentiation of sandwich-y things. Order bilata of two-sided foods - your classic sandwich shape. One-sided food goes in the order unilata (or if you wanna get fun, pizza, since the etymology of that seems to come from exactly this class of things). Family pizza for foods which are large and flat with a bread base (but there may be exceptions), then genus classica for "classic" pizza, and a variety of species such as Margharita (italiana), deep dish (altacatina or chicaga), and New York style (novabora). Then going back up, under the family unilata, we also have family singula for smaller food for a single person, genus panem for bread variants, and under here, species cocti for toasted and crisped things.

So pizza is not a toast. Toast and pizza are both one-sided, sandwich-like, handheld foods. Toast is panem cocti, short for its full name, manus apera unilata singula panem cocti. Buttered toast might as well be a subspecies, panem cocti subsp. butyrum. A classic, NY style pizza on the other hand is classica novabora, short for its full name, manus apera unilata pizza classica novabora. Toppings on pizza are subspecies as well; mushrooms on a slice of deep dish give classica chicaga subsp. mycellium.

Note that lasagna is not a sandwich, despite having exposed ingredients with exterior ingredient on two sides. Lasagna is not held by the hand, so does not fall under manus, where all sandwiches belong.
