Brent, my hearing is so bad that I not only misunderstand(?) all video-speak, I hardly even could HEAR gravity-wvaves (not to SEE(?) them). I esteem old Isaac and when an apple fell on his head he has all my sympathy. But GRAVITY???? (attraction from/by a mass?) I had to learn that anno Decebal, was not clear at that time either. Physicists can paste as many equations to it as they like.
I still ask: is there a *medium* sucked in, that carries the victim of gravity? 
or what?

You could think of time as sucking you in. It "sucks" you forward along geodesics in the absence of other forces and the curvature of those geodesics is gravity. The event horizon of a black hole is where the inside of the black hole is the future.

Maybe such medium could undulate into waves? (I shouldn't have ventured into these suggestions: in no time some physicist will write it into a Lagrange/Cauchy-series).
I refrain to think into such marvels: I want to keep my common sense.

Best regards
