The discussion centers on the claim that a particle accelerated to near-light speed gains enough mass to potentially collapse into a black hole, which raises questions about the validity of this statement. Participants debate whether this assertion is true and explore existing theories regarding the nature of mass gained through acceleration. There is also a reference to a related thread that addresses similar concerns about black holes and particle physics. The conversation highlights the complexity of understanding black holes and the implications of relativistic effects on mass. Overall, the topic underscores ongoing debates in physics regarding black holes and accelerated particles.

i found this on a website , but I am sure I've read other stuff saying a black hole won't form ?

"If a particle is accelerated to a certain velocity near that of light, it gains enough mass to collapse into a black hole, making it impossible for observers to make statements about its velocity".

would you regard this as a true statement ?

is there any theories at the moment that speculate what form mass gained by aceleration takes ie some type of particle ?

Thread 'EPR revisited'

In an inertial frame of reference (IFR), there are two fixed points, A and B, which share an entangled state $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0>_A|1>_B+|1>_A|0>_B) $$ At point A, a measurement is made. The state then collapses to $$ |a>_A|b>_B, \{a,b\}=\{0,1\} $$ We assume that A has the state ##|a>_A## and B has ##|b>_B## simultaneously, i.e., when their synchronized clocks both read time T However, in other inertial frames, due to the relativity of simultaneity, the moment when B has ##|b>_B##...
