Speed of light, Mass, And black Holes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

An object moving at the speed of light is theorized to possess infinite mass, which would result in infinite gravity. This concept leads to the conclusion that such an object would indeed become a black hole. The implications of an infinite gravity black hole suggest that it would not only drag everything towards it but also create a ripple effect in the surrounding cosmos, observable by distant observers. The discussion references the Usenet Physics FAQ for further insights on the relationship between speed, mass, and black holes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and its implications on mass and gravity
  • Familiarity with the concept of black holes and their formation
  • Knowledge of the speed of light as a universal constant
  • Basic grasp of cosmological observations and their interpretations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of infinite mass in general relativity
  • Explore the properties and formation mechanisms of black holes
  • Study the effects of gravitational waves and their propagation
  • Examine the Usenet Physics FAQ for detailed explanations on black holes and relativity
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and students of cosmology interested in the fundamental principles of gravity, black holes, and the nature of the universe.

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 that's 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?
