Infinite weight???

I saw this posted elsewhere:

Is there any theoretical basis for this or is imaginary the key word?

I think he was talking about if any object was traveling at the speed of light, it's mass would be infinite. But to get to that point, it would take an infinite amount of energy to do it.

and an infinite amount of time too.

I think he means having one half of a balance "at" the event horizon of a black hole. no amount of force could cause that half of the balance to lift "out" of the black hole (since nothing can escape).

 

oh really? how about another black hole

 

Reasonable... thanks... in other words there is no infinite weight as current scientific theory and observation would have it.

I'll unsubscribe now.

 

The event horizon is the point [spheroid] of no return, no matter what is outside it (as far as I know).

 

so an inward force is being drawn by a blackhole towards itself and if there was another black hole a larger one...wouldnt that counteract that?

 

Looking at it from a more intuitive perspective:

The force which would be needed to pull [whatever it is that is at or within the radius] defined by the event horizon of the Black Hole would have to accelerate [...] to c, at least. (As far as I know.)

Combine that with the Absane post.

 

The 2 black holes would eat each other. No part of the scales would survive for long.
