what happens to a laser light in the following situation?
a meteor (at a distance of many many light years away from earth) is traveling at the speed of light towards the earth, and someone standing on the meteor's surface shines a laser light towards the earth. for the people on earth looking at the meteor, it seems like it's a black hole (this is from relativity, since the meteor's traveling at the speed of light, it's kinetic energy is increasing, and since E=mc^2, it's getting more & more massive, which therefore it's gravitational pull is going to increase, so from the earth's perspective, the meteor's gravitational energy looks like a black hole ) does the laser light reach the earth?
Yes, the laser light reaches the earth. There are a number of problems with your assumptions.
First, nothing with mass can move at the speed of light. It can get close to the speed of light so that relativistic effects kick in.
However, relativity does NOT predict that gravitational mass increases. It will NOT become a black hole.
