A New Idea to Harness Energy From Black Holes – Universe Today
A new study by an international team shows how the physics of a black hole’s event horizon could allow us to harness limitless energy from them someday.

Fifty years ago, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed that energy could be extracted from the space around a rotating black hole. Known as the ergosphere, this region lies just outside an event horizon, the boundary within which nothing can escape a black hole’s gravitational pull (even light). It is also here where infalling matter is accelerated to incredible speeds and emits all kinds of energy.
This became known as the Penrose Process, which many theorists…
