...energy concentrators reached inside the Tevatron are child’s play on a cosmic scale. According to Morii, “the universe has its own ways of accelerating particles to energies that we experimental physicists can only dream...

Gabrielse said that high-energy collisions that could be produced inside RHIC already occur—naturally—on the lunar surface. “There have been highly energetic cosmic rays colliding with the moon for a long time, and these sorts of things don’t seem to have happened,” Gabrielse said...

...Posner’s credit, Catastrophe does anticipate Gabrielse’s counter-argument. Posner writes that “a cosmic ray hitting a fixed target such as the moon will tend to scatter the nuclei that it hits, making it less likely that they will clump”—and thus produce strange matter—“than if the collision were head on,” as it would be inside RHIC. So, the fact that the moon has existed for 4.5 billion years without condensing into a tiny ball does not necessarily...
