>>14415169I'm currently working on a reformulation of Einstein's special relativity, got the idea for it while I was basically hallucinating from a lack of sleep during class.
I'm not clever enough to predict anything new - my model says all the same things ordinary relativity says (so far). In my model, time is just a vector sum of distances - specifically where x is the distance traveled throughout the ordinary spacial dimensions as we know them and a is a sort of arc-distance traveled around imaginary cylinder dimensions (the radius of the cylinder is also porportional to mass as it turns out; this was not built into the model as an axiom either. Photons have 0 radius but still 'spin' around this cylinder too). My model posits that *all* things travel at lightspeed, but massive particles have some of their distance covered throughout the cylinders and so appear to travel less than lightspeed in the 'real' dimensions.
You know, I may have just rediscovered a much more shitty version of kaluza-klein theory too lmao.
So time and distance (or space, if you will) are literally the same thing. I'd declare that the study of time would therefore be called geometry.
