What Hacker News says?
That doesn't sound right. Relativistic mass as a concept is avoided in modern physics because it doesn't yield much insight and is hard to keep consistent. Involving gravity only makes it worse, because it's very hard to consistently include gravity in special relativity. For one, does the relativistic mass gravitate or not? And if you actually do go through the calculations, you find that you do not get the observe…
