Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it mass and energy is equivalent no? And it also still baffles us as to why rest mass and resultant mass from energy should be equivalent at all?
I don’t think so. Remember: This is energy being converted to mass, not mass coming out of nowhere.
Ah right. So, an alternative to dark energy and dark mass?
No no that’s a completely different phenomenon. This is the phenomenon involved in Hawking’s radiation and similar.

Yes.
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?
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
