Gravity. Please knock this down

I enjoy building up speculative ideas and knocking them down again. I find that I often do learn a bit in the process. I wrote this about six months ago, as an attempt to make a mental picture of how gravity could work. Then I found a flaw that killed it, so I left it at that. Now, I read it again, and can't remember what knocked it on the head, for me. I think it was something to do with gravitational time dilation, but can't remember what. And it turns out I had the wrong idea about that

I think they should be the same (and I assume one could show this from the equation for gravitational time dilation). I haven't tried it but I think if you apply the Lorentz transform to the equation for escape velocity (which is the same as the speed when falling from infinity, which is your 11.186km/s) then you should end up with the equation for gravitational time dilation. Because equivalence. There is a big difference between not being refuted on an Internet forum and being mainstrea
