- Black holes are commonly surrounded by a hot 'soup' of plasma particles that carry a magnetic field. When magnetic field lines disconnect and reconnect, in just the right way, they can accelerate plasma particles to negative energies and large amounts of black hole energy can be extracted. https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-proposed-a-wild-new-way-of-extracting-energy-from-a-black-hole 41 comments science
