Do you remember how a series of crazy coincidences and freak accidents kept preventing the LHC from being turned on? What if the LHC was causing world-ending or life-ending events, and we simply kept surviving only in thinner and thinner slices of amplitude (timelines) where those freak accidents happened, but where also more improbable world conditions took place?
Or we're in the timeline that survives because we maintain the LHC the best and it's needed for some crazy future experiment
There’s an SCP story like that.
World only survives, in realities where this particular creature in containment is alive. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

Sounds a bit like a doomed version of Quantum Immortality

You would see my YouTube feed. I watched a couple of those and now I'm fully convinced.
