Black holes can replace 30 billion USD particle mountains

Scientists have found that supermassive black holes naturally produce the same high-energy collisions that researchers have spent decades and billions of dollars on Earth.

Johns Hopkins researchers show that rapidly spinning black holes in the center of galaxies can be used as cosmic super challengers, potentially reaching the energy of matching or exceeding the most powerful artificial accelerators, while providing a cheaper alternative to next-generation facilities, which could cost $30 billion and take 40 years of construction.

Nature’s free particle accelerator

The discovery, published in the physical review letter, reveals how black holes at its maximum possible velocity approaches its maximum velocity close to its maximum velocity approaches its extraordinary energy. When materials fall into these cosmic giants, some particles get stuck in a chaotic collision near the edge of the black hole, reaching the speed with what scientists have achieved in facilities such as the European Large Hadron Collider.

“One of the huge hopes of a particle off-road collider like the Large Hadron Collider is that it will produce dark matter particles, but we haven’t seen any evidence yet,” said study co-author Johns Hopkins University and University of Eun, UK. “This is why discussions are being held to build a stronger version of the discussion, which is a next generation of super-tollers. But as we invest $30 billion and wait for 40 years to build this super-in-chief, it could see a glimpse into the future in a super-giant black hole.”

Retrograde Advantages

The key is what happens when the material approaches a rotating black hole in the opposite direction of its rotation – retrograde motion. Unlike materials that flow in the same direction as the rotation of a black hole, retrograde materials must go further before reaching a point of no return, which gives it more time to accelerate to extremely high speeds.

During the expansion “upgrade” toward black holes, particles can reach hundreds of teraelectronvolts in dozens, the same range targeted by the suggested next-generation fireplace. The process creates what scientists call the Bañados-Silk-West effect, where particles achieve seemingly impossible energy through gravity acceleration.

Natural universe settings

What makes this discovery particularly exciting is its natural occurrence in space. When consuming materials, many supermassive black holes alternate between active and quiet periods. When the previously spinning black hole “wakes” and feeds again (perhaps after a nearby star tear apart), the new material has a chance to approach from any direction.

The researchers calculated that a moderate feeding rate could result in a typical black hole mass producing a particle flux of about 10^44 particles per second, creating countless opportunities for high-energy collisions.

Detect cosmic collisions

So how do scientists detect these natural particle accelerators? The answer lies in the existing observers who have viewed the sky of cosmic events.

“If superenergy proton collisions could produce these particles through high-energy proton collisions, then we might get signals on Earth, and some truly high-energy particles quickly pass through our detectors,” Sisi said. “This will be evidence of a new type of particle collider in the most mysterious object in the universe, an energy that is not possible in any land accelerator.”

Facilities such as the Icecube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica and the Mediterranean Neutrino Telescope may find these cosmic collision products. In fact, the recent ultra-high energy neutrino detected by KM3NET on 220 Petaelectronvolts – hundreds of times higher than typical detections – may fully represent this black hole super faction signature.

Beyond the vision of activities

The study reveals fascinating physics about what’s going on near black holes. When the particles spiral inward, some people collide and land on points that are not returned and disappear forever. But others gained so much energy and motivation that they escaped, possibly carrying the signature of exotic physics throughout the universe.

Sisi said: “Some of the particles in these collisions flowed down the throat of the black hole and disappeared forever.

Supplement, not substitute

Scientists stress that black hole super pickers will not completely replace artificial facilities, but can provide critical supplementary data. Although terrestrial accelerators provide precise control over experimental conditions, cosmic accelerators may reveal phenomena that cannot be reproduced on Earth.

“We figured out how vibrant these particles are: powerful, or more of what you get from the super suitcase. It’s hard to say what the limits are, but they certainly fit the energy of the latest super salesman we plan to build, so they can certainly provide us with complementary results,” Silk said.

Main limitation? distance. “The difference between a super charger and a black hole is that the black hole is far away,” Sisi said. “But despite this, these particles will attract us.”

As federal funds cut decades of particle physics research, this cosmic alternative could help scientists continue to explore the deepest mysteries of the universe, including the elusive dark matter that makes up most of the universe, but has never been directly discovered.
