So everyone knows the rubber sheet analogy for gravity is terrible but from what I understand gravity arises due to the warping of time as opposed to space. I did study a bit of special relativity but that said I can't get my head round this concept.
I've gotten this far with it and am aware that I'm probably wrong:
Two objects at rest relative to each other with different masses would notice a discrepancy in the tick of each other's clocks. This means they must move relative to one another for C to be kept constant.
But isn't that a circular argument? Gravity warps time which causes gravity?


Can someone explain or link to a detailed resource that covers why it's the time component specifically that leads to gravitational attraction.
