Hey i have a question for anyone who wants to answer. Would an object moving at the speed of light which has infinite mass have infinite gravity? and if so would it also become a black hole? And if thats the case would a black hole with infinite gravity drag everything else at the same time or would it create a ripple effect around it where any observer's would notice the difference in the surrounding cosmologically, assuming they didnt notice the gravity shift themselves? How would that work?

See the following article from the Usenet Physics FAQ:

If you go too fast do you become a black hole? (http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~dkoks/Faq/Relativity/BlackHoles/black_fast.html)
