Two Metro Vancouver physics students who have become a big draw on TikTok have now had the experience of a lifetime overseas.

Anthony Rajkovich and Ryan Curtis are the creators of The Physics House on TikTok.

Their videos answer questions such as “How many satellites orbit the earth?” or “What is the farthest object from us” and “What is existence?”

The duo has attracted almost 650,000 followers on TikTok.

They also got the attention of the people in Geneva, Swizterland at CERN, the largest particle accelerator in the world.
