Time as a Cosmological Source: Foundations of a Chronocentric Theory of Expansion

This work introduces a chronocentric framework for understanding cosmic expansion, proposing that time is not merely a passive dimension but an active cosmological source. Departing from space-driven models, the theory explores how temporal dynamics may underpin the universe’s accelerated growth. Through conceptual analysis and foundational equations, this speculative approach reframes expansion as a time-originated phenomenon. Authored independently and outside academic institutions, this paper invites open discussion and critical reflection on the role of time in cosmological evolution.
