Abstract Previous work on the anti–de Sitter (AdS) instability problem within the two-time framework (TTF) has found an “oscillating singularity” whose presence depends on the gauge choice. We give a physical interpretation of this singularity as a diverging redshift between the boundary and the center of AdS. This signals a genuine breakdown of the linearized gravity. One can also identify the diverging redshift through a backreaction calculation purely in the boundary gauge, where the TTF result stays regular.
