Does relativistic mass create gravitation?

Answer 1

If relativistic mass can be achieved, it will surely generate the greatest gravitational field ever to exist in the universe.

since according to Einstein, gravity is a property of mass.

But he also said that relativistic mass is impossible to achieve.

Because you will require an infinite amount of Mass to achieve the speed of light and convert yourself to pure energy and produce that fantastic gravity, and infinite mass is impossible mathematically, well said Einstein.

Answer 2

Absolutely, makes no difference if its rest mass or relativistic. In fact, we have achieved and measured relativistic mass in the super colliders where particles are accelerated to well over 90% the speed of light. Check out:

"Inside the two pipes, narrow beams of protons whirl around the tunnel in opposite directions at nearly the speed of light. The particles in these beams have been accelerated to an energy of twenty trillion electron volts. This is a huge energy for a single particle to carry: particles emitted by radioactive minerals reach energies less than one millionth as great. " [See source 1.]

As to the cause of gravity, take a look at:

"(2) Relativistic force must therefore cause an increase in mass and also a comparable decrease in the spatial dimensions. And we know that gravity is proportional to mass, so that when mass is increased, gravity must also be increased. Therefore relativistic force which causes both an increase in mass and a contraction of space, would also an increase in gravity, no matter what its cause. And it is therefore probable that these phenomena of the relativistic effects of force increasing mass, contracting space, and causing gravity, are all inter-related as one process." [See source 2.]

So whether we subscribe to the conventional theory that mass causes gravity or to the alternative theory that contracted space causes it, gravity will still increase with a mass's increasing relativistic velocity.

Answer 3

No, but relatavistic gravitation did create matter.
