Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Does Gravity Increase With Mass Dilation?
« on: 06/05/2010 19:41:04 »
Maybe this question has already been answered but: Assuming two particles (X1 and X2) moving at relativistic velocities relative to each other.
X1 --->
|
d
|
<---X2
Is there some distance d and some velocity less than c where X1 and X2 will orbit each other?
The closer the bodies approach speed of light then the larger the force due to gravity (or the more space-time bends) hence the two bodies will move closer to each other.
Cheers,
