As you know, your mass increases at speeds approaching a significant percentage of the speed of light. Recall that at the speed of light (impossible, but bear with me) your mass would be infinite.
Here's my question - if you were to approach this phenomenon, would your mass not get to a point where it would simply collapse under its own enormous gravity - i.e. create a black hole?
Sounds logical to me - what do you think?

You're right, this does sound logical. I'm not sure if it would happen, but it sound plausible.

Seems like a logical conclusion. But keep in mind that you have infinite mass now and there is only a finite amount of matter in the universe. So if a blackhole was to be created, it would probably last for only a minute amount of time before the whole universe gets sucked in to the black hole.
