Rapidly rotating black holes may act as natural particle accelerators to significantly high energy. It is an attractive idea to have natural particle accelerators in the space, as particle accelerators on the ground have confirmed the standard model of particle physics and are about to reveal physics beyond it. We argue that high-energy particle collisions occur near rapidly rotating black holes in rather general circumstances based on the physical investigation of this idea and discuss its implications to physics and astrophysics.
