You have GOT to be trolling me. There is no way.<p>The LHC collides TWO protons! The net velocity between them is zero.<p>You seem to know at least some physics, how can you possibly not know this?<p>But in your black hole scenario there are not two opposite velocities adding up at the horizon.<p>You can not just directly turn velocity into light, it&#x27;s not possible, you need another object.<p>&gt; Electromagnetic energy (heat and light) is a kind of kinetic energy.<p>Some people define only two kinds of energy: Potential and Kinetic, in that definition electromagnetic energy is a type of kinetic energy, and velocity is a type of kinetic energy.<p>But it does NOT follow that electromagnetic energy is the same as velocity energy!<p>It&#x27;s like an apple is a fruit and an orange is a fruit, but an apple is not an orange.<p>&gt; They actually think their gadget can convert near-light-speed velocities into many other kinds of energy, including electromagnetic, and the creation of particles from energy and the reverse.<p>I take it you&#x27;ve never heard of conservation of momentum? You can not just turn the velocity into other things, you have to react it with something else (which is what I said - go back and read it). In this case they react it with a proton going the other way.<p>They could also react it with the earth, or a slab of metal.<p>None of these apply to a black hole.<p>We have also gotten way off topic from time dilation.
