The LHC Experiments Happen All the Time Naturally
The experiments that we will do with the LHC [Large Hadron Collider] have been done billions of times by cosmic rays hitting the earth. ... They're being done continuously by cosmic rays hitting our astronomical bodies, like the moon, the sun, like Jupiter and so on and so forth. And the earth's still here, the sun's still here, the moon's still here. LHC collisions are not going to destroy the planet.

Notes
Quoting John Ellis on how the LHC will not destroy the Earth because atoms are smashing on Earth, on the Moon, on Jupiter all the time and nothing terrible has ever happened.
