Is it possible to jump your shadow if you can go faster than the speed of light?

Question

what I mean is to start standing still with the shadow in front of you, and instantaneously speed up to the other side i.e. jump the shadow.

Would there still be a shadow for you to jump?

Answer 1

If you're thinking of being lit from behind - your shadow being in the path of your motion in order to jump it. As you approach the speed of light, your length contracts in the direction of your motion.  At the point you reached lightspeed, you would disappear entirely.  Your shadow would at that point cease to be, except for a gap you'd already created in the beam of light from behind yourself.  You could actually pass that gap at FTL speeds.

Answer 2

Sure, right after you disintegrate.

Answer 3

Yes, but it is not possible for you to go faster than the speed of light because you have mass.

Answer 4

no you will disintergrate
