There's an essay in _Encounter: Essays on Torah and Modern Life_ (published
by AOJS) that makes precisely this observation, that the anomalous
dimensional effects of exceptionally high levels of kedusha manifested in
halachos throughout Shas appear to be strangely analogous to the effects of
exceptionally high velocities described by the special theory of
relativity.  On my blog, I summarized a few of the points that the author
made.
