The equations are linear, I assume you mean that linear equations are
inappropriate. In this derivation the assumption is that space is
homogenous and isotropic, ie: it is assumed that space has a form that
can be described by the linear equations (Special Relativity). There
are no lies, the assumption is stated, obviously the equations would
need modifying if space were curved.
