The discussion clarifies that a human cannot reach a speed that would cause them to collapse into a black hole due to relativistic mass. Velocity is a frame-relative quantity, meaning that no matter the speed, a human's rest frame remains unchanged. The concept of relativistic mass is largely obsolete in professional physics, reinforcing that this misconception should be addressed. The consensus is that one cannot transform into a black hole simply by altering reference frames.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for physics students, astrophysicists, and anyone interested in the principles of relativity and black hole mechanics.
A search of these forums will turn up many copies of the answer: There is no such speed. No matter how fast you go, you do not become a black hole. Velocity is a frame-relative quantity. You cannot make someone turn into a black hole or not simply by choosing a different reference frame.Ted Baas said:The question kind of says it all. How fast fast could a human move before Relativistic mass made him collapse into a black hole(the answerer can choose whatever mass and volume that they want for the equations).
