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?

    Moving faster than light gives you [i]imaginary[/i] mass, not infinite mass. E = γmc^2, solve for m and substitute a speed greater than c for v in [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_factor]γ[/url]. A more precise definition is that as your velocity approaches c, energy (or mass) approaches [url=http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=limit+of+1%2Fsqrt%281-v%5E2%2Fc%5E2%29+as+v+approaches+c-]infinity[/url]. This forbids anything with mass approaching and breaking the speed of light, but special relativity does not prohibit things always traveling faster than c (i.e., tachyons). They probably do not exist though. Even given that, your example does not make sense. You are breaking the laws of physics, then asking what happens in the laws of physics. You can derive pretty much everything when you assume a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion]contradiction[/url].
