You're still pushing from the perspective of the pusher, not the particle.

I know of no research done from the perspective of the particle, mainly
because we do not have the capability of being on a particle at
lightspeed relative to an outside observer. The real question, which at
this time we cannot answer, is what's possible relative to the particle
that's at or near lightspeed relative to an outside observer.

It's been many years since I was into such, so be kind.
