Could rotating black holes act as natural particle accelerators?

Researchers propose that neutrons interacting with magnetic fields near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center, could trigger a process that produces ultra-high-energy protons, gamma rays, and neutrinos.

The predicted signals could reveal how black holes release rotational energy, and upcoming observatory upgrades may finally help scientists test this intriguing mechanism.
