In both cases the energy from the air friction would create such a powerful discharge that it would disentigrate the universe.

In both cases your mass would become infinite, causing an infinite black hole that would destroy the universe.

As you approach the speed of light, you begin to travel faster through time (into the future), and when you go the speed of light, you'll be going infinitely fast through time (infinite years forward in an instant), but going faster than light would, theoretically, send you backwards through time. In a sense, going the speed of light will send you an infinite amount of time into the future, and from another perspective, it could send you an infinite amount of time into the past, but it doesn't really matter because you destroy the universe and yourself when you go the speed of light, and if you manage to survive that somehow, you will be stuck in either before or after the universe.

But if you would somehow jump over the speed of light to faster than the speed of light, then you'd be going backwards through time in a manner (theoretically) inversed to that of approaching the speed of light. The faster you go, the slower the speed of you going bacwards through time.

Going faster than TWICE the speed of light... I have no idea. You can't go the same distance from the speed of light while still being slower than it and staying above 0.

However, if you go backwards through time, there will be two versions of you at once. One is your past self from before you went backwards through time, and the other is your future self, the one that has already reversed their direction through time. However, the instant before the reversal, the two of them will be in the exact same spot, killing both of them.

So, in conclusion, if you go the speed of light, you'll destroy the universe by becoming an infinite black hole/incinerating the whole universe by friction instantly, and you'll be trapped infinitely before/after the universe if you survive the black hole you became. And if you skip over the speed of light (which is impossible because everything needs acceleration), you would be killed by your 1 yoctosecond in the future/past self because your molecules would be in the same spot.

In either the senario, the universe gets destroyed in an instant, and the speed-of-lightee dies. So no, that difference doesn't matter.
