    The Alternative $(-++++)$ Convention
    Conversely, some fields, particularly those focused on cosmological models derived from pre-relativistic mechanics, utilize the $(-++++)$ signature convention, where the time component is negative:
    $$ \eta' = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$
