This theory will be stated in a basic form until the mathematics are formally constructed. This theory contains the concept of the simultaneity of now as a basic framework. This is the Haley principle.

With respect to the solidification of crystals an interesting article using classical nucleation theory (CNT) and density functional theories (DFT) is on-line here:
http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/120712/srep00505/full/srep00505.html
This article focuses on a new investigation of the mechanism of crystal formation and has some interesting points to make. From a spacetime viewpoint an ideal crystal can exhibit high density planes. Density with respect to distortion of spacetime may well be investigated with super-cooled crystals. Thus increasing the density of an already dense orientation of matter. The behaviour of light in the vicinity of a sufficient mass of this super-cooled crystal may well be possible. If a gravitational field generated in such a manner can be shown to be greater than expected from the amount of mass present then either this mass is generating more gravitational waves simply because of its density or it is producing a greater distortion of the spacetime around it via some other mechanism. The investigation of how this may bend light would be useful.
This experiment of course is impractical at the moment due to the amount of super-cooled crystal that would be needed to produce a measurable effect. However this may be possible at some time in the future.
Both CNT and DFT could be adopted into an investigation of gravity if the effect is produced via carrier particles. This only applies if gravitation is involved in the process of the solidification of matter.
