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.

I posted this question knowing that it must be answered using general relativity.
It appears, unfortunately, no one is capable of answering my question.

No, one cannot becomes a back hole just by moving at relativists speeds.
For someone/something to becomes a back hole, it needs to be a black hole in ALL frames of reference. While moving at relativists speeds, the relativistic increase mass only appears tom someone in an outside reference frame who is measuring your speed to be relativistic...in YOUR reference frame, your mass would be the same as it always is since you are not moving in your own reference frame.
In other words, depending on who is viewing the object, the mass is not measured to be the same and thus in some frames of reference, the mass is/is not sufficient to become a black hole, therefore in no frames of reference can the object become a black hole.
It is the rest mass which determines the ability to form a back hole.

It seems to me that this is not possible. Yes, length contracts as you move toward the speed of light, however that is only a contraction in the direction you are moving. Therefore you would have 0 length in that spacial direction but have a normal finite length in the other 2 (lengths perpendicular to velocity do not contract). This makes the idea of having a radius very difficult to answer as there is no uniform 3 dimensional radius. You would have a 0 radius in the arbitrary x direction but a finite, lets say 1, radius in y and z dimensions. Im not sure what kind of effects this would have on the calculations involved in determining if there is a collapse. (all of the pervious is only relevent to a observer looking at the individual).

An individual would not be able to become a blackhole in this manner because lorentz contraction will only compress you along your direction of travel in 3-space. This would result in you becoming 2-dimensional rather than a singularity to an outside observer, depending of your reference frame.
From the moving individual's frame, time dialation would result in the end of the universe prior to the individual ever getting close enough to c to result in a large enough mass-schwarzchild ratio to consider singularity effects around a 2-D mass.

I may be wrong, but I believe that the Schwarzchild conditions only apply to a stationary object and therefore it's rest mass. You also mention that this motion is in relation to a stationary observer's point of view. What about from a non-stationary observer's point of view. Are you still going to collapse into a black hole then?
I guess that I don't know exactly, but if I had to say something, I would say that for an object to collapse into a Schwarzchild type black hole, then you would need to meet those conditions under every frame of reference, not just one specific one.

sure! i think like that typically. Its quite astounding that you've a huge objective in existence, if it truly is all of your different classmates talk about in 10-two decades once you bypass on your extreme college reunion, they're going to be very jealous. Your no longer pathetic and also you do not suck. you've very extreme hopes and that i imagine you receives particularly a procedures in case you keep on the music your on. You look very mature pondering your lack of interest in repeating your thoughts each and each and every of the time. If a guy under no circumstances realized that your better mature than individuals then he's amazingly materialistic and all he needs is a lady with good seems and could use you.

The flaw with this question is we are trying to deal with it using special relativity. However, we can only use general relativity to answer this question, since special relativity is too "weak" to deal with the effects of an object in motion relative to an observer, we can only see what happens to the moving object with respect to time, length, and mass. Basically nothing else can be derived from special relativity.

One problem with this idea is how does one approach light speed? As they speed up, their mass increases, and they become harder to move. As far as I understand, the only possible way to get the energy required to move at or near the speed of light is to use E=mc2 essentially turn your body mass into propulsion energy perfectly.. and the only way to reach the speed of light is to burn up your mass entirely and become light. I think light is the only thing, um, light enough to travel at the speed of light. I'd love to hear any corrections on this though.

Since black holes by their very definition cannot be directly observed, proving their existence is difficult. The indirect evidence for the black hole Cygnus X-1 is a good example of the search for black holes.

Only if they become a serial killer.
The body chemistry, and chemical models in general, do not follow planetary models. They are VERY different.
If it were true, every SUN, or STAR, would have PLANETS. to date, I think there have only been found TWO suns, with planets! I really don't know the EXACT number, but, it IS very low!!

to create black hole this way the density would have to reach more than seven hundred times the density of a pulsar to knock muons etc into new dimensional state probable the person become neutrino first
