   I just finished reading a science fiction (actually with an Islamic
setting, a rarity in the field), which had as one of the main points of
the story that if you built a spaceship and continually accelerated,
eventually you relativistic mass, for the size of the spaceship, would
be large enough to cause collapse into a blackhole.  Not being good with
keeping track of boosts, I wonder if in a large enough universe, with
enough energy, if this is possible or meaningful. And if so, what do you
feel in the rest frame of the spaceship when collapse occurs?

It's the first time I ever seen this scenario suggested in a sci or sci-fi
book, and it seems an interesting one to explore.
