From: master1729 on 18 Apr 2010 05:03 relativity puzzle ... the ' paradox ' The moving particle will "think" that the stationary object (lets use a planet) has a huge mass, because in the particle's point of view the planet is moving at an ultra relativistic speed. What if the particle moves fast enough so that the planet becomes a black hole, and the particle gets inside the event horizon? Why does it fly right past (like a photon) and not get trapped?

DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT AN EXPERT That said, my answer would be that the equivalence of coordinate frames may only hold true with nonaccelerated frames, and since the particle is being accelerated by the object, this equivalence does not hold. Interesting question, certainly not an idiotic one. I'd like to see an expert's take on this. Regards, Kerry
