Is it possible for a point-like system to behave like $x(t) = \frac{t}{2}\log(t^2)$ near $t=0$? (infinite speed) [closed]

Is it possible for a point-like system to behave like $x(t) = \frac{t}{2}\log(t^2)$ near $t=0$? (infinite speed) I know beforehand that relativity theory forbids anything with mass from travel faster ...
