First, using a 7-billion</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">year</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">old gamma-ray burst, Nemiroff </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2012</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">)</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> showed

And second, Solomon </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2011</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">)</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> showed
that gravitational acceleration is not associated with the gravitating mass,
that gravitational acceleration </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">g</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> is
determined solely by </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¦Ó</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> the change in
time dilation over a specific height multiplied by </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">c</span></i><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> or </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">g = ¦Óc</span></i><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.
Seeking consistency with Special Theory of Relativity, as means to initiate
this rethink, this paper examines 12 inconsistencies in physical theories that
manifest from empirical data. The purpose of this examination is to identify
how gravitational theories need to change or be explored, to eliminate these 12
inconsistencies. It is then proposed that spacetime is much more sophisticated
than just a 4-dimensional continuum. And, that the Universe consists of at
least two layers or ˇ°kenosˇ± (Greek for vacuous), the 4-dimensional kenos,
spacetime (</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">x</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> y</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> z</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">
