Theory of Relativity On the Train (2)
According to special relativity, a moving clock is measured to tick more slowly than a stationary one. Of course the speed of the train is not fast enough to support the precondition of special relativity, but the point is when the space and the time are filled with only blank emptiness inside, the atoms on the time grid are dilated. From my perspective, the reason why time is dilated under such condition is that our thought, for most of people, stagnates. The feeling of the separation of our body and our thoughts prolongs the time within our own zones, while others do not feel anything changing.
As I stated before, time is also an intermedium, a medium that connects velocity and space. In special relativity, maximum speed is finite: No physical object, message or field line can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But if the velocity is fast enough, superseding even the speed of light, which is considered the summit of the speed in our known universe up until now, will time go backward?

It's hard to find errors here. Assuming the phrase below is a hypothetical, I would change it to...
Instead of
But if the velocity is fast enough, superseding even the speed of light, which is considered the summit of the speed in our known universe up until now, will time go backward?
Change to
But if the velocity were fast enough, superseding even the speed of light, which is considered the summit of the speed in our known universe up until now, would time go backward?

Damn, I don't understand anything about the scientific side you are talking about but I must compliment you on your use of the english language. Apart from some minor mistakes the sentences seem alive. When you spoke about the train experience in Beijing I could almost feel the discomfort of such a situation.
