I have a question related to the general relativity.

According to the general relativity, a mass curves the space time.

But could it be that a mass would be a curve of space time in itself?

If this would be the case, we could focus only on the curvature of space time and forget the consept of mass completely?

Drop the notion of space time, but also pick up a physics book and educate yourself on Higgs Bosons. Mass is not an intrinsic singularity. It's far reaching but curvature of space-time is most likely the influence of bits (quantum or not). Space-time doesn't have random pockets of curvature where there is no mass

its not space time its spacetime one word.

We should rename spacetime to spime.

It's a measure of dimensional exposure.

It's not really mass that curves spacetime. It's anything that has energy/momentum. Lookup stress-energy tensor.

And I agree, space and energy are the same thing. Looking at the math and the illustrations, it would be quite elegant if all particles simply were compressed space (that somehow stays compressed, like knots made out of space or like how matter can stay in solid/compressed form as opposed to being a gas/uncompressed).

It's fun to see that some other people also get this idea but it's strange that it's quite rare. Doesn't really seem to be anything wrong with it (while there's not really any evidence for it either). It could explain a lot of things from Big Bang to the nature of motion.

GR and QM aren't compatible.

Weight and mass are different. Mass is just the amount of "stuff" something has and weight is mass times the gravity magnitude
