That Special or General (I forget which) Relativity breaks down under such conditions is not only to be expected, it is even predicted by the Theory itself.It's general relativity.
Special relativity only handles the part where mass depends on the speed of the object.... and also gave us E=mc^2, where this m= m0/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), and m0 is the mass at rest, v is the mass' velocity, c is the sped of light.
The general relativity is the one that shows space-time bending due to the gravitational field.
