Metric Chronetic Theory (MCT) redefines time as a kinetic rate (x) of void expansion rather than a dimension. It accounts for the 4.9% gravitational residual via the Lattice Elastic Limit (εL = 0.049) and proposes a falsifiable 'Zeta-Shift' experiment using Strontium-87 lattice clocks.
Lee Holmes (2026) studied this question.
