This should create a state of matter called quark-gluon plasma, which probably existed just after the Big Bang when the Universe was still extremely hot.
I pasted the link to that page directly from the CERN site. I repeat, they do not say this occurs every day in nature from the collision of cosmic rays with planetary or solar bodies.
I am only using their facts Van Rijn. So you just called CERN wrong not me.

Now stop making me repost the same material, it makes for a poor discussion
