Why is the usual inertial mass (i.e. resistance to changes in motion of a body) equal to the usual gravitational mass (i.e. the force of gravity upon the same body)? Answer: it seems purely accidental and discovery of the Fifth Force could change this. How can a body with zero mass still carry energy and what does this have to do with antimatter? And what are the building blocks of matter? Pervez Hoodbhoy dwells on these questions (Urdu).
