Graduate E=mc^2, Gravitational Potential & Energy Balance
OK, thanks. I had always assumed gravity was due to mass, but if mass and energy are equivalent then that makes sense.- CaptainSlog

Graduate E=mc^2, Gravitational Potential & Energy Balance
If two masses that are separated by a distance are created from pure energy using the equation E=mc^2, where did the gravitational potential energy between them come from? Does this mean the speed of light isn't really constant, and must be changed very slightly to accommodate it? Could it be...- CaptainSlog
