As a layperson, that makes sense to me. It also explains the time dilation effect when near a large mass.

Thinking of it as directional action potentials that are blocked by mass? I agree it does feel intuitively nicer that way honestly.

Yep. Coming from everywhere and moving outward in all directions at all times and ‘absorbed’ or ‘blocked’ by mass

Physicists: Has anyone ever looked into this?

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_explanations_of_gra...

(but I only play a physicist on HN)
