There are many interesting and albeit confusing explanations here for something that can be easily explained, if you can just substitute an unknown (what is and constitutes gravity) into a "particle" or a piece of information called a "graviton", one popular theory is that these pieces of information travel (or are passed along) at the speed of light. As you move, therefore within the doppler effect you are condensing the space between the gravitons and therefore increasing your mass from the "front" of your traveling direction. Let us just say for arguments sake that each molecule of matter emits one graviton per microsecond (this graviton is actually a wave that moves in all directions. so, if you theoretically could get to the speed of light, then every microsecond your "wave" of gravitons would become larger and larger, forcing a buildup of your mass, unless only one graviton can occupy the same space, in which case, you would have to push yourself and each of the following gravitons to a speed more than that of the speed of light once or more than once a microsecond (if you were to surpass the speed of light.
any questions or corrections?
