Description
It is a well known effect that a rotating black hole can accelerate
spinless particles to in principle arbitrary energies.
Within the formalism of the Spinning Top it is investigated
to which extend the "corresponding" process is also possible:
*"Can spinning tops be accelerated by a non-rotating black hole?"*
It is found that this is indeed the case.
