Since mass increases with speed, will this spaceship collapse and become a black hole? Or is it just massive from the observer reference frame?

- nuccy 5y agoMass is not increasing in the frame of reference of the ship, so no, it will not collapse into a black hole regardless of how much energy it received externally (e.g. laser beam from Earth) to accelerate closer to the speed of light.
- teekert 5y agoBut it will attract massive objects (like stars) at some speed then?
