No, do you even know what relativity is?
"If you spend an hour with a pretty girl, it seems like a minute. Yet if you sit on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. Thats relativity."
Besides, there isn't any way to make something go faster then light that we know of, so thats a big no. The last part was all that really matters anyway.

Special relativity doesn't allow things to accelerate to the speed of light, but doesn't forbid objects that are already travelling faster than the speed of light (a tachyon).

Special theory proposed by einstein never reject the concept of particles with velocities greater than speed of light.
Tacheons(from Greek Tach-Speed), a hypothetical particle which travels faster than light was also coined. But its existance is yet to be discovered.

No physical matter with non-zero mass can exceed (or reache) the velocity of light. It would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate the particle, and the particle would have infinite mass and zero dimension in the direction of travel.
Tachyons have not been shown to be real, and have the odd properties that
they can't go below the speed of light
their velocity increases with decreasing energy!
