This is my first post here but I've been reading this subforum for about a week. I was reading a thread that gave me a few ideas/questions. My questions are set up with quotes from the link belowhttp://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/146502-black-holes-spinning-faster-than-light/Tullius Aug 25 2016"In special relativity, the energy of an object is expressed as E = gamma*m*c^2 , where gamma depends on the speed (and increases to infinity, if the speed of the object approaches the speed of light), m is the mass of the object (in the classical sense) and c the speed of light.Any particle that orbits a black hole orbits at a ridiculously high speed, which means that it has a ridiculously high energy.The "relativistic mass" is defined as M = gamma*m. The advantage of this notion is that the famous E = M*c^2 holds also for moving particles and in general it simplifies the formulas. However, M is some kind of mass that depends on the speed of the particle in the reference frame of the observer"Kerbiloid Aug 25 2016"Does it mean that any particle, orbiting a blackhole, when reaching the event horizon gets infinity mass for an outside observer?"Pb666 Aug 25 2016"When they pass the event horizon, from our perspective universe, the particle ceases to exist and become part of the singularity."MeIf we one day build a ship capable of hitting the speed of light, it would reach infinite relitavistic mass. Would that ship then become a singularity? Is it possible the speed of light is only a limit because anything moving faster transforms into a black hole?
