Strangely enough, gravitation is less well understood than most laypeople think. We're reasonably confident that it exists - and have calculations that let us accurately predict the effects, but we aren't actually sure what causes it. It appears to be a function of mass.
It gets even worse at the quantum level, and we're well and truly baffled by it. The disconnect between classical and quantum physics is partially due to gravity behaving poorly at sub-atomic levels. Particles just don't behave very well.
Oh this is a subject I have researched extensively. My theory was gravity is a consequence of matter's movement through time, I had a whole thing explaining it and even some math(rudimentary math at best) to explain it. It was just a theory and an amateur one at that. When I was young I fancied myself a amateur scientist and even though I didn't have a degree I would make some big break through and get an honorary doctorate. Big dreams ones that I have learned are just not reasonable. I had all kinds of big ideas when I was young many of which I almost blew my self up trying to realize. Some of the experiments I did with plasma probably should have killed me and possible half the neighbor hood. One thing I never did that I always wanted to do was build a particle accelerator. It would be fun! Think about it you could test creating entangled particles and see if you could charge a battery wirelessly with entangled electrons. You could mess around with spooky action at a distance as Einstein called it. I've always been a big dreamer, I try to keep myself a little closer to earth these days.
Did your theory make accurate predictions that are testable?
It did, but just because it can predict one part of the physical world doesn't mean it predicts all of it correctly I posted it on-line a long long time ago and it got absolutely shredded. It made about 2 accurate predictions and did not account for many many things. I came up with it after I read a biography on Einstein and thought I was smarter than I was. I wouldn't share it with anyone again, getting ripped apart once was plenty. It was based on the idea that gravity only effects things that move slower than c.
