particle accelerators

so, particle accelerators can have a dual benefit when it comes to exploring the sub-atomic world, a) they can speed up particles to near-c speeds (to give more kinetic energy to the collision) and b) at near-c values, the speed of the collision product disolution is quite a bit slower (and we can actually study it)...

what if you could engineer a collision near the event horizon of a black hole, wouldn't the relativistic effects slow the action to to a relative crawl? wouldn't this increase the effectiveness of a particle accelerator a tremendous amount...

heh, i agree, actually implementing this is a pipe dream, though 😀
