gravity and time

Has anyone considered that gravity and time are inversely related?  Since it seems that time seems to come to a virtual stop beyond the event horizon of a black hole, maybe that's because whatever 'causes' time is pushed out of the way by gravity.  The same might also explain the relativistic effects regarding the passage of times on objects approaching the speed of light.  I mean, physics class always told us that the ground pressing back up on us was the opposite of gravity.  But what if that ground just happened to be in the way, because that is the space it occupies, and it's the particle/wave/whatever that creates time that gravity actually displaces?
