Physicists Propose Cheaper Alternative to Particle Colliders: Supermassive Black Holes

A groundbreaking study from Johns Hopkins University reveals that supermassive black holes at galaxy centers may naturally accelerate particles to extreme energies, akin to those generated in the Large Hadron Collider. This discovery could revolutionize particle physics by offering a cost-effective alternative to future colliders. Researchers suggest that rapidly spinning black holes produce jets of plasma emitting high-energy particles through chaotic collisions near their edges. These findings open new avenues for studying dark matter and contribute to our understanding of cosmic phenomena, potentially bypassing the need for expensive and time-consuming laboratory experiments.
