yeah so...what exactly is mass anyway?
why is one energy massless and another energy full of mass?

little weird

energy equivalence principle obviously works
but why is there mass lacking in all this stuff we use on a practical day to day basis?

seems to me
mass is it's weird ability to drag spacetime

so energy that doesn't is considered massless.

so....
how do we get EM fields to drag spacetime??
what causes mass to drag it in the first place??

cool

well ya know how stuff resists speeding up or slowing?
or how fast moving objects warp spacetime like how a boat makes a wake behind it?
or how the sun warps spacetime around it?

so obviously we're missing what causes mass to do these magical things
we know it does...but how?

scientists can turn energy into almost any form cept gravity and inertia
heat to EM
photons to nuclear
photons to electric
etc

just not to warped spacetime
obviously it can happen just how?

well is the EM field of an electron or proton involved in creation of gravity?
all particles only have 3 qualities
1)charge
2)spin
3)mass
that's it.

is charge and spin elementary or more to them?
