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?
LHC is a pea shooter compared to the absolute ion cannons that are cosmic rays hitting the upper atmosphere, which are pea shooters compared to acretion disk collisions or particle collisions about a magnetar. Sorry to ruin the fun! :^)
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.

Or we're in the timeline that survives because we maintain the LHC the best and it's needed for some crazy future experiment
It was sophons.
You would see my YouTube feed. I watched a couple of those and now I'm fully convinced.
Sounds a bit like a doomed version of Quantum Immortality
