- TL;DR Summary
- I have a question linked to high speed in space, when an object goes to a speed near of the speed of light (I am new in this forum).
I take the following example to explain my question : when a « black-hole » is attracting a planet there is a Force which is proportional to the 2 masses and inversely proportional to the distance between the 2 masses. When the planet moves towards the « black-hole » this attraction force increases. And the planet speed will increase : when the speed will be near the speed of light, the planet mass will become infinite and the attraction force will also become infinite. On the one hand the planet speed will continue to increase and on the other hand the speed is limited to the light speed. So what will happen ?
One possibility could be that the planet will create a lot of new particles : these particles will have a non-zero mass and will move to a speed less than the speed of light, in order to decrease the planet energy and decrease also the planet speed. And so the planet speed will be always less than the speed of light.
Could you confirm that this is the right explanation to my question ?
Or is there other explanations ? what it could be in this case ?
I have another possible explanation but I will wait first your answers.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Best regards
