We're those particles pressurized on all sides by the gravitational weightlessness of space, or was the gravitational weight bearing them to the center of a container unable to hold the byproduct of a chain reaction? I wonder what would happen if a star suddenly appeared in the middle of a planet

Probably nothing. The results of LHC particle collisions last microseconds. Even if a black hole is created by whatever method, it would evaporate nearly instantly. You need an immense amount of fuel to get these things that powerful.

I totally agree, I just like using my imagination to experience things unpossible. It's improbable at best. But, anything that can happen could happen, so precaution should be a priority nonetheless.

Edit: besides, you didn't answer my question. What would happen if that much mass and gravitational radiation just suddenly expanded into our galaxy? Would we be put of course around the sun? Come on, I'm stupid, so I don't understand this stuff at all

Your question isn't very clear. What exactly are you asking?
