Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it mass and energy is equivalent no?

Yes.

And it also still baffles us as to why rest mass and resultant mass from energy should be equivalent at all?

I don't know about this one. I'm not an expert so don't quote he on it, but I don't remember hearing this before.

Then why wouldn't it exert gravitational force?

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

It does, but that's the thing: It does either way. There should be no change due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Ahh, I see what you mean. Thanks for explaining it
