everyday environment? Firstly I know nothing about particle physics, I am just going on what I have read.
The safety of the LHC for the most part relies heavily on the fact that there are already particles colliding around us at the same speed if not faster then the LHC can produce. However, if such collisions cause an anomaly (stranglet or micro black hole) in nature, then they supposedly shoot directly through earth and back into outer-space before they have had enough time to collect any matter, potentially turning them into fully fledged black holes or stranglet stars and consuming the entire planet... correct me if I am wrong so far?
Now here is my question. Unlike in nature, the LHC has over 1,600 superconducting magnets keeping those particles traveling in a continuous loop, wouldn't this mean in the event of a stranglet or micro black hole it could potentially keep traveling around in a loop collecting matter instead of leaving earth? Isn't that the entire idea of the superconducting magnets, to "contain" the particles preventing them from leaving?
Also, do hadrons really collide frequently in our environment? I was under the impression they are being extracted from "inside" atoms specifically for these experiments.
