Moving faster than light question

I know it's impossible to move faster than light, this is merely hypothetical. When you move faster than light, you have infinite mass. Now, surely if that thing with infinite mass crashed into anything, wouldn't an infinite force would be produced (F=MA) ? And wouldn't that force kinda fu­ck shit up?

  • When you move at the speed of light you have infinite mass, moving faster then light means you have greater then infinite mass, which isnt possible...yet. but say something does travel at the speed of light and crashes a wall (or any stationary object), the impact force would equal to the momentum of the object travelling at the speed of light. P = m*v (v being the speed of light, m being the mass). So yeah i suppose mass being infinite at the speed of light, the resulting force would be classified as inconceivable/ unstoppable etc...
