Black holes may cheaply replace particle colliders

Physicists propose that supermassive black holes could serve as a cheaper alternative to particle colliders, potentially revolutionizing high-energy physics research. Researchers suggest that spinning black holes may naturally accelerate particles to energies rivaling or exceeding those of the Large Hadron Collider, offering a potential solution to funding challenges. This could provide a new avenue for studying dark matter and other elusive particles. Scientists hope to detect these ultra-energetic particles using existing observatories, potentially offering a cost-effective way to study fundamental physics and understand the universe's composition.
