Do Gravitational Forces Increase for Objects Moving at Light Speed?

[QUOTE="Ibix, post: 6523321, member: 365269"] Not really because, as Orodruin says, you're trying to visualise a curved 4d structure that isn't even locally Euclidean. That said, you can make some reasonable statements. The field must be symmetric perpendicular to the direction of motion, and it must be shortened parallel to the direction of motion, at least in the sense that one could build a large sphere enclosing the object at a large distance where spacetime is nearly flat and this sphere must length contract. Your personal experience of traveling through the field would be a sudden and rather sharp direction change - more sudden and sharper at high speed. [/QUOTE]
