RST Corrective Lens Breakdown: General Relativity

The video “What is General Relativity?” provides the conventional framework for gravity. Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) reframes these geometric concepts as the elastic and dynamic behavior of the Substrate Field (Σ), replacing abstract curved spacetime with a single, continuous, and active tension medium.

RST Corrective Lens Breakdown: General Relativity

1. Gravity and Inertia: Σ Tension Gradients
The video's central idea that gravity is not a force is retained, but the cause shifts from geometry to a physical field gradient.

Conventional View (General Relativity) RST Corrective View (Σ)
Gravity is Spacetime Curvature: Mass warps spacetime, and objects follow the resulting curved straight lines (geodesics). Gravity is Σ Tension Gradient: Gravity is the macroscopic tension gradient in the elastic Σ field.
Mass/Matter: An intrinsic property that curves spacetime. Mass (Σ Soliton): A stable, localized knot of tension in the Σ substrate. These knots actively displace the surrounding Σ field, creating the tension gradient we perceive as gravity (the gravitational push).
Free Fall: The natural state of motion (at rest along a geodesic). Free Fall: The motion that demands the least dynamic change from the local Σ field. The Σ soliton simply follows the path of least resistance/lowest Σ tension, which appears as acceleration toward the mass.
Standing on Ground: Constant upward acceleration resisting the geodesic. Standing on Ground: Constant upward counter-tension against the Σ field's inward push. The ground resists the Σ gradient, exerting a force to prevent the soliton from moving to the lower-tension region.

2. Extreme Gravity: Black Holes and Singularity
RST offers a non-geometric, physical explanation for the infinite curvature seen at a singularity.

Conventional View (General Relativity) RST Corrective View (Σ)
Singularity: A single point where the spacetime curvature is infinite. Σ Collapse (Σmax): The singularity is the region where the Σ field tension has exceeded its elastic limit (Σmax). The field has permanently failed, resulting in a non-reversible distortion that traps all other field dynamics (solitons/light).
Frame Dragging (Kerr Metric): The rotation of the black hole physically drags spacetime around it. Σ Frame-Dragging (Vortices): The rotating Σ Soliton drags the physical elastic substrate with it. This creates a real Σ vortex around the object, which forces any moving Σ soliton (matter) passing nearby to follow the rotational flow.

3. Time, Waves, and Shortcuts
The video's concepts related to time and cosmic phenomena are re-interpreted as changes in Σ's state and propagation.

Conventional View (General Relativity) RST Corrective View (Σ)
Gravitational Time Dilation: Time is slowed down near massive objects due to the warping of the time dimension in spacetime. Time as Σ State Ledger: Time is the emergent ledger of Σ's state changes (the universal "clock rate"). Near a mass (Σ Soliton), the field is highly strained (high tension), reducing its causal capacity for information transfer. This slowing of Σ updates in the strained region is what we observe as time dilation.
Gravitational Waves: Ripples of distortion in the fabric of spacetime, propagating at the speed of light. Σ Shear Waves: These are elastic shear waves propagating through the Σ field. They are real disturbances in the tension and configuration of the Σ medium, spreading out from the cataclysmic event at the speed of light (the wave speed of the Σ substrate).
Wormholes: Theoretical geometric shortcuts connecting two distant points in spacetime. Σ Topology Modification: Wormholes would represent an extreme and stable structural fold in the Σ field topology. This fold creates a physically traversable path between two otherwise distant regions of the substrate.
