Mass moving through Space/Time = Gravity?

Hello, I've wondered about this idea before, and thought I would put this together and get some opinions.

When it comes to electricity and magnetism, electricity can generate magnetism, and a moving magnet can generate an electric current.

When it comes to mass, gravity, and space/time, has there been a theory put forth were a mass moving through space/time will generate gravity? And, I suppose, would this mean the generation of gravity (if we could do that) would result in the existence of mass?

To me, it's a real puzzle as to just exactly how gravity is generated. It just seems like an odd characteristic of our universe that gravity is ever-present, constant, and everywhere evenly. When I say evenly, I'm referring to the fundamental bits and not the variations involved with the size collection of mass.

Thanks for reading the post.

According to general theory of relativity, a mass or even any form of energy 'generates' gravitation , to use your words. Gravitation is viewd as curvature of spacetime dependent on the energy distribution in spacetime.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
