Conveyor Belt Theory

I have a theory on what really gravity is. I call it Conveyor Belt Theory. The conventional understanding of gravity is that it isn’t so much a force as a shape. We think mass bends and warps the fabric of space and the effect of gravity is just the illusion based on travel through non-linear space and time. Conveyor Belt Theory is just a little different. So here it is Conveyor Belt Theory of Gravity states that matter obliterates space. Instead of warping space, matter constantly pulls and tugs at space, stretching the coordinate system (a little like frame dragging). Although you are stationary within space, space is not stationary within the universe. As an analogy, picture the fabric of space and time as water in the ocean. Now picture matter as a drain in the bottom of the ocean. The sea water rushes into the hole, never to be seen again. If you are in the water far from the hole, the current has little effect on you and the vast abyss of the ocean (particularly if you have an infinite supply of water). But if you are very close to the hole, you feel a strong effect of the current. Now picture our planet. The fabric of space and time is like the water, a current flowing toward a drain. Everything in space around the planet is riding the conveyor belt toward earth. If we jump into the air, we literally ride the conveyor belt back down. The more matter that exists, the more space it obliterates. So something like a star would have a very high speed conveyor belt effect. A black hole would be any accumulation of matter large enough to have a conveyor belt speed of C of faster. Light can’t escape because it is essentially running on a tread mill. Picture two massive bodies in space, each obliterating space, each causing a current of flowing space toward itself. The space between the two bodies looks like a piece of taffy being stretch from both ends as each body obliterates space causing a current flow. Looking at the space shows nothing interesting because the fabric is undetectable. But looking at an object in the space, you can see it travel in the current flow. It appears to be attracted to the massive body, but in reality it is just along for the...
