| Technically, yes, though it is not alone from your "reverse pendulum" effect leg walking-motion.

| No, because if a train was moving at the speed of light, the force would push the person backwards.

Wrong. It's not impossible, just not possible now, with our limited technologies.
Also, if you're going to enter an argument, be sure to have your shit together.

You're an idiot.
Simple physics show, that if the train accelerated at a steady rate, when it reaches a constant acceleration everything attached to it(you) would be traveling at the same speed.
Notice when you accelerate in a car, for a split second you are pushed back? After that you are traveling the same speed as the car.

| If you go the speed of light, time will seemingly stand still, if you go faster, you will go back in time.

Time != speed
Time is a different dimension, no amount of speed will change that.

| If you go FASTER than the light around you, you will meet light before it would have originally come to you, so you are SEEMINGLY going back in time.
