But they do:
"As seen in Fig. 1, the highest-energy cosmic rays observed attain energies of
around 10^20 eV, and the total flux of cosmic rays with energies of 10^17 eV or
more that hit each square centimeter of the Earth’s surface is measured to be
about 5x10^–14 per second [5]."

And 5x10^-14 per second relates to 1x10^ 8 per second in what way? I had totally missed this logic in my previous argument, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Obviously I will now need to determine the area of the beams used in square centimeters to accurately relate the 2, but as I have a 2X10^21 magnitude comfort zone to work with I feel comfortable in my assertion that nature and the experiment are not the same.
cheers cjameshuff, next prove yourself and CERN's safety statement wrong to prove me wrong, I look forward to that post.
