Taking this one step further, in the context of holographic universes and the possibility of the universe existing inside a black hole like structure. Given the limited possibility of knowing what goes on inside a black hole from our point of view 'from the outside', we can only guess at what really happens to matter that falls 'down' inside one. But if a singularity inside a black hole does exist, we can deduce that perhaps matter is compressed infinitely toward the center of black hole structures. This compression of matter maybe taking place all around us on the scale such as our universe has, but only loosely mirroring what we think happens in the heart of black holes. Is time a scalar in this sense? Who really knows, but similarly I suspect dark matter and dark energy would become an anomaly similar to what is discussed in this paper. I can't really comment on the math, I'm no expert, however the concepts are intriguing to say the least.
