Ok, we know that as you approach the speed of light, your mass increases, and we also know that mass bends space, causing other objects to be "pushed" towards each other.
So my question is, If I am in a spaceship moving very close to the speed of light, and the mass of the ship and all of it's contents are approaching infinity, wouldn't the gravity that these masses produce also approach infinity? If so then wouldn't the ship collapse upon itself and get crushed by it's own gravity? At some point in velocity, your ship may have so much mass that the whole thing becomes a travelling black hole.
Am I even close with these ideas?
