A New Lens on Relativity: Linearizing the Infinite

[tvali]

Hey Actualizers,

I’ve been exploring a radical reframe of relativity theory — one that treats curved spacetime not as a geometric distortion, but as a linear structure approaching infinity. What if the speed of light, black hole horizons, and spacetime boundaries aren’t “limits” in the traditional sense, but structured infinities that can be modeled linearly?

This isn’t just a mathematical tweak. It’s a metaphysical shift.

By reimagining curvature as a linear phenomenon near infinity, we can simplify the equations, expose hidden symmetries, and potentially unify aspects of physics that have long resisted integration. It’s a move from complexity to elegance — from Einstein’s geometric intuition to a more abstract, yet surprisingly intuitive, framework.

I’ve written up the core ideas here:

Would love to hear your thoughts — especially from those who enjoy blending physics with deep metaphysical insight. Is this just a clever trick, or are we glimpsing a deeper structure of reality?
