It has long occured to me that, the properties of gravity can be easily visualised. If we imagine that matter has the property of 'sucking in space', like water down a drain.
If space is sucked in, at a rate (velocity) proportional to its mass. That would account by itself for half the effect we know gravity to have. And fits with all the math. [ the space would be sucked in with a velocity that is inversly proportional to the distance from the mass, just like gravity. But, Gravity creates an Acceleration (V^2), where as simple 'sucked space' would only add its Velocity (V) ]

I think, if all matter was also expanding, that that would acount for all the percieved effects of 'gravity'. This idea might have troubles with things of different density having different expansion rates. As well as the scaryness of the 'eternally expanding' part. But it is all 'relative'. Stuff wouldnt 'really' in one sense be expanding. that would just be one way of looking at things.
The way the 'red shift' implies that our universe is indeed expanding.
And the idea that somthing that is sucking in space (like into its insides), might well also tend to expand.
and other ways the idea seems to sound like scarry reality.
Makes this 'expanding matter' idea, attractive to me.
It would also be an instance of this, 'in/out','small/big' dimention.

I just assume. That some sort of sucking in, of 'space', Is, going on, in matter. And is a large part of the mechanism of gravity. This also fits well with the 'Gravity slows Time(flow)' theory/observation.
However any understanding of gravity must also explain a mass increase due to velocity of matter. I can kind of invision a way space is 'crammed in' by velocity. Like air into a ram jet. into whatever mysterious pathway, space finds its way 'inside' in the first place.
