When all matter has been removed, what is left is the vacuum, or aether as some used to call it. Now try to imagine a place where the aether density is less than in the surrounding space. Photon pumping might produce such a thing? Probably best to start off in a normal vacuum so that air doesn't confuse the issue. If you can pump enough out to equal the weight of the structure, than the net weight would be zero. Any less, and it would be negative and you would have an anti-gravity device, analogous to a hot air balloon, but capable of operating in outer space. This is based on the notion that a gravity well comprises an aether density gradient. All far fetched nonsense? ;)
