I appreciate you addressing the question. However, is it possible that spacetime cannot bend? A natural geodesic of an asteroid would be pulled toward a planet with a gravitational pull, but the mass/energy correlation is assumed to be affiliated with the "bending" of spacetime by an old dead guy. If, for a moment, we assume that spacetime cannot bend then the correlation you made with the Newtonian Gravitational Force Thoery and the Einstien Field Equation is void. Back to square one. But somehow I hope you proove me wrong. This stress-energy you spoke of that directly relates to the curvature of spacetime...is that for a planet or sun? Either way, the planet creates this stress-energy by its mass or density of materials or the ever-elusive nuclear reactions at the core. Also the atmoshere might even play a role here. I know that I don't have an atmoshpere and attract knats with my gravitational pull (even though I have seen some pretty hefty people, they really don't have a gravitational pull themselves). I am not avoiding GR, its just when you take all these equations and make a device from it, there is a better explaination for the device than the mathmatics. So, perhaps I need to speak to a solar scientist to determine what PHYSICALLY occurs in the center of the sun that causes so much stress that its gravitational force becomes so threatening.
