I understand that as objects approach the speed of light, their masses
get larger (as observed by someone outside). As the velocity gets near the 
speed of light, the should mass increases to infinity. At least that what 
the math seem to say. Does it fellow that if I get close enough to the 
speed of light I would ,via general relativity, become a black hole?
