No.
Mass distorts space-time. Gravity is an effect of that distortion. Relative differences in the flow of time are another.
Are you saying that you can not have gravity without mass? Do you suppose an advanced civilization could warp/distort space-time with some sort of machine say for the purpose of interstellar travel?
I think that is possible and I would call it gravity and they would not be using large masses to do it.
We have no examples of gravity without mass and no evidenced theory that describes how gravity may occur without mass.
The theory that explains the relationship between mass and gravity has been known for quite a while and is supported with lots of evidence.
Large amounts of energy also have mass (in the form of momentum, as explained in equation by Einstein). This is termed: 'mass-energy equivalence' in physics.
So I'd say it's safe to state that you cannot get gravity without mass.
Why would you suggest that an advanced civilization wouldn't use mass for interstellar travel? To my point of view, engineering with vast masses could be expected to be quite the norm for advanced civilisations.
Nature uses mass to move things around and any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from nature.
Your wrong Einsteinian law of gravity involves a complicated combination of momentum and energy, in which mass does not explicitly appear. This is why Einstein’s version of gravity even pulls on things like light, which is made from photons that have no mass at all. Even gravitational waves are massless contrary to your belief and can be formed by two objects orbiting one another. Since everything in the universe is in motion, so everything in the universe exerts a gravitational effect on everything else.
Mass turns out to be much more complicated than we thought. For example the Higs field gives mass to certain particles and not others.For example photons, gluons and if gravitons exist have zero mass. But i wont go into mass right now its late byt lets just say gravity can and does exist without mass, And the key is momentum and energy. By the way when figuring out gravity there are a total of 10 variables at each point in space-time.
According to GR

I remember reading this post long time ago now just had a little read through it again. Bob Lazar among very few are one of the people in this world that to me, talked truth. With anyone talking the futuristic things he spoke about would jump to conclusions that he is trying to make money off a story or something to this effect yet he never did make money from this, if anything it hurt his career and lost him valuable time in research and development of many ideas he had and still has.
I do very much believe that Bob Lazar is the man he says he is, he is clearly a bright man knowing things that not your average Joe could ever utter never mind explain in the grand complexity that he has done. Clearly he is a scientist, no fraud.
Going back to your original post and the point about gravitational waves being what he said it was, then it being echoes again years later on the news, well that just shows the delay in which the public get given new findings and technology.
It is clear that some grand collection of data and information has been hidden from the world and it seems that at some point it will spill. Already men like Bob Lazar grant him the Hero badge of Honour as he is one of a few that think about the human race, then money or ego.

I'm not sure I am following what your question is. Are you asking me about my ironic statement about Bob being a liar which I do not believe he is? Or are you asking me what elements of his story make me think he knows what he is talking about?

The media was celebrating this week about the groundbreaking discovery that gravitational waves are real and not just a theory formed by Einstein in 1918.
30 years ago, Bob Lazar told the press that the propulsion systems he worked on used gravitational waves. It gets more interesting when you realize that he actually insisted they were the correct theory. And also this is the 2nd theory that came true from him after the discovery of Element 115. This one is more amazing though because in some ways you could say Element 115 was inevitable.
Here's an excerpt:
Lazar: There are currently two main theories about gravity. The "wave" theory which states that gravity is a wave and the other is a theory which includes "gravitons", which are alleged sub-atomic particles which perform as gravity, which by the way, is total nonsense.
Lazar: Anyway, gravity is a wave and there are two different types of gravity. Gravity A and gravity B. Gravity A works on a small or "micro" scale and gravity B works on a larger or "macro" scale. We're familiar with gravity B...
Lazar had his fair share of criticisms, but out of every single person in this UFO research, at least 2 of his quantifiable assertions have come true before anyone knew the answer - one of which is almost a century old.
Gravity waves were also fairly inevitable. Just hard to detect.
I have to ask as a neutral party here as I dont care about bob lazar more then just some guy insaw on sightings back in the 90's, if he was such an idiot as everyone makes him to be and people went well out of their way *cough Stanton Friedman cough* to make it appear as though he was basically educated, how would element 115 and gravity waves been an inevitable conclusion for someone no better educated then most 11th graders from a year ago?
I'm not stupid but i never looked at gravity waves as being an inevitable discovery.
ETA: When I asked this question the poster didn't have all that other stuff added JS
Element 115 was first described, theoretically, in 1975 by Burkhard Fricke in this paper. The predictions in the paper are far more accurate than Lazar's. The paper also existed well before Lazar's claims and was somewhat famous at the time (among a particular group).
Now we know a lot more about 115 and it has nothing like the properties Lazar suggested. The 115 number and Ununpentium name existed well before Lazar.
Similarly, gravitational waves are a prediction of Einstein's relativity, a proof that it works as theorized. They have been damn hard to detect, partially because they 'wave reality like a flag' so everything we try to use to detect them gets wobbled around by the same amount.

I'm asking why specifically do you believe he is not lying. What has he said that makes you think he is telling the truth about his work reverse engineering spacecraft?
What has he said that (in your opinion) makes it more likely that his story is the truth rather than a fabrication, and why do you feel it is likely the truth?
Like I said, it is my opinion that he has said nothing insightful that can be corroborated, and the things he said that can be corroborated are not particularly insightful -- and in fact have been the opposite of insightful (i.e., inaccurate). Therefore, there is no reason for me to believe he is telling the truth.

The point is that his description of Element 115 and his description of gravitational waves does not match what we have learned of Element 115 and gravitational waves since then.

Because Dmitri Mendeleev was the first known scientist to theorize about element 115's existence does it negate and nullify Burkard Fricke? Of course it does not but the same argument is being applied in this thread regarding Bob Lazar.
[I realize that could be more eloquent, but I wrote that in 5 minutes off the top of my head. Give me a few days and it would be a more polished piece of fakery.
Crystalline element 121 is injected into a magnetic reaction chamber in which positrons are used to strip electrons from the element 121 atoms -- some of the stripped electrons are annihilated by the positrons, and some are mixed with the (now ions) of element 121, creating a plasma field of element 121 . This plasma has the affect of manipulating the otherwise homogenous Higgs field compressing the Higgs field in such a way that it allows virtual particles that are using popping in and out of existence to remain in existence.
This has a scaler effect on the Higgs Field surrounding the spacecraft in such a way that the virtual particles ahead of the craft great a positive mass in relation to the relative lack of virtual particles behind the craft, creating a mass bubble from the nothingness of virtual particles (i.e., free energy) that results in a "trough" of spacetime ahead of the craft and expanded spacetime behind the craft, due to the virtual mass differential.

Wrong, the element 115 isotopes that have been manufactured are SEVERELY NEUTRON DEFICIENT. There's no way they would be stable. That doesn't mean there isn't a stable isotope. Are you familiar with Uranium? U235 is VERY different to U238. Tritium is very different to Hydrogen. etc etc.
Also, gravity is well known to warp space-time. As proven since the early 20th century. What you describe as gravity "waves" is probably the tiny ripples in space-time caused by a orbiting black hole pairs. That's very different to the craft propulsion as stated by Lazar, which was the amplification of the strong nuclear force. To state that humans are at the edge of understanding of physics is pretty arrogant, we still don't even know what dark matter is.
