There was a funny appeal against the LHC at the German Constitutional Court
eng: http://www.scilogs.eu/en/blog/go-for-launch/2010-03-15/lhc_stop_nixed_by_german_court

The appeal was refused with the following reason:

--- Quote from: Statement from German constitutional court (translated) ---"If you want to voice your concern, and especially if you expect the government to take action, you have to do better than merely couch your concern in terms of general mistrust against physics. You need expertise, you need to understand the theories that you are trying to refute sufficiently well and you need to formulate salient counter-examples, all the more so if the theories you are up against are well-established, mature, have a solid theoretical foundation and are generally accepted among scientists in the field. If you have nothing more to offer than irrelevant side issues and vague pseudo-theories that are not even consistent with fundamental precepts of physics and are not based on solid, extensively published theory, then that just isn't good enough."

TL;DR: "If you have no idea what you're talking about, then shut up and don't waste everybody's time with drivel."

Hehehe ^^

Proin Drakenzol:
This sort of collision happens all the time. The LHC just reproduces it in a stable, testable environment.

If we haven't been devoured by a black hole yet (which empirical evidence suggests we haven't) then we won't be by this device.
