This system has potential energy. The mass changes because of the relative velocity of the objects to the rest of the universe.

And no you cannot break the speed of light even with gravity--this is one of those safety features that prevents such things from occuring in this universe. You'd have to punch a hole through the universe first--that's exactly what would occur at impact of these two objects. For a brief instant the fabric of space and time will warp almost infinitely and then ripple back when the objects collide, scatting their mass from impact.

I'm still curious as to the math of this situation occuring as predicted. I am seeing my physics prof. some times soon with this problem. If he doesn't know then se la vi.
