Assuming these scientists have it right and I am traveling in excess of the speed of light, where am I? Where I started, where I am going, or what?

And more importantly, how do I stop?

If you're serious... the short answer is that you can't travel faster than light. The long answer is that if you did, you could send messages back in time, and it takes a lot of work to devise a theory of the universe in which that can happen without contradictions.
