I remember seeing this guy on television years ago. I thought him a bit eccentric, but his theory was interesting, to say the least.
As for the "not pulling" thing, why do items accelerate towards each other once they are gravitically trapped? Wouldn't the push remain steady, rather than increase with narrowing distance?

Primarily I think gravity is a local phenomena. And when I say local, I mean local in terms of the scale of the universe.
It’s very easy to see that whatever the strength of gravity there is, it can easily over distance get overwhelmed by the background quantum field.
You know what it means when someone describes the “surface tension” of a fluid like water if you are trying to float a needle or something on it.
Take that concept and stretch it to 3 dimensions and you see how gravity is related to the “surface tension” of space.
Einstein used his thought experiment to refute Newton - the workman falling from the roof.
Then the workman, falling, with an elevator box around him -weightless as long as the roof is infinitely high off the ground.
Einstein argued that Gravity was a push, and then used it to speculate that light bends as it comes near dense objects. He got an astronomer from the Lick Observatory to photograph a total eclipse of the sun. He speculated you would be able to see stars that OUGHT to have been occluded by the sun/moon combo at the edge of the eclipse - as if the star were NEXT to the eclipse at the time, and not in front of it.
He came up with General Relativity in 1911, and it took until almost 1918 to prove it. Took him that long to get the picture of the eclipse.
