If a non zero mass zips at speed of light it's mass for stationary observer would be infinite so why won't the stationary observer see a blackhole instead? | |

| Jan 20, 2011 at 20:50 | comment | added | Mark Eichenlaub | @shops Your question can't be answered using simply the principle of relativity because it's asking about different types of relative motion. You might try asking it as a separate question on the main site. I don't have a good, concise answer to that question. | |

That is if a mass flew by me at .1 c, would I feel the same tug as if it flew by at .999c? Would there be some sort of equivalence given the time it takes the object to pass? That is, would the total force felt over time be the same; sort of like how the area covered by an orbit is the same over a given time? | |
