Niche Gravity Theory? (lemm.ee)

There's a good many gravity theories, some that don't even try to explain the why, only the how and other's that involve some particle like the graviton. But anyone know if there's any based on the energetic vibrations of our known particles with mass (those within protons and neutrons)? In other words, gravity's space warp is a result of all the heavy work done by powerful particles; the more mass at work (density), the more space warps.

I found this one, and I recall someone trying to do a current version of it but can't seem to locate it (perhaps being developed outside of English language).

Thanks for any insight.

I'm not interested in questioning Einstein's gravity - it's super successful. I was interested in the history and alternative ideas that beaches out and died and the Wiki did have some decent info and even papers on "ether." Fascinating and maybe intuitive for its time. It's very hard to find any writing on postulating the mechanics that cause gravity to warp space/time. I was mostly interested in finding if there was some kind of wave function (not a graviton) within to describe the, "why." There's so much energy within atoms that you'd think there was more than enough room for hypotheticals, but none that are famous enough to discover on the Internet.

Thanks though
