What would happen if you moved at the speed of light?

There's nothing faster than the speed of light. So, what would happen if a human managed to move at this universal speed limit?

Due to time dilation, wouldn't time stand totally still relative to the rest of reality?

You would become an infinite mass. There is not enough energy in the universe to accelerate any mass to the speed of light.

Quote from the article "Einstein's theory of special relativity shows that as an object with mass gets closer to the speed of light, the mass starts to increase as it nears the speed of light."
--------------------
The neutrino travels closer to the speed of light than any known object with mass ... https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=how+fast+do+neutrinos+travel

Yet the neutrino has less mass than any object in the universe.
If anything, that would be an argument for the opposite conclusion:
that mass decreases as speed increases (photons are massless and travel at C).

I'm not interested in hearing at what point anyone believes the mass will start increasing dramatically. I'm interested in hearing anyone's evidence that its mass will start increasing dramatically. In other words, the logical fallacy of appeal to authority (in this case Einstein) isn't going to cut it - but evidence will.
