What's it called when a skydiver reaches maximum speed in free fall so that they cannot go any faster?

And do different objects (lighter or heavier) and different shapes (aerodynamic or not) have an effect on the maximum speed?

Ice maelting in a glass full of water doesn't raise the water level, how can the melting of polar caps raise it 20 feet? Doesn't displacement play a big factor here?

Why is the universe bifurcated with sexes ? Why do they then have different characteristics ?And ofcourse they attract each other - but I very well know that it is just not to continue the human race ,there has to be some more meaningful reason ,else just replicating the species is even possible by cell division.

As an individual accelerates to near light speed their length contracts and their mass increases (duh). But what if this happened so much so that this person met the requirements for a schwarzschild blackhole in that the entirety of their mass was contained with the schwarzschild radius from an stationary observer's point of view? Furthermore does any object from the moving person's point of view the meets the requirements for schwarzschild blackhole become one as well? Speculate on that for a while.
