The surface of water is warped by a rock thrown into a pond, but no rock is transmitted by the waves. The electromagnetic field is disturbed by accelerating charges but no charges are transmitted by the EM waves. In any case, mass is not the only thing that warps spacetime. The components of the stress–energy tensor [1] include energy (which includes mass) density, energy flux, momentum density, and momentum flux, the latter of which is composed of pressure and shear stress components.
