answer to be provided in the next two days..
Some careful physicists clarify that E = mc2 should actually be E = m.c2 .

1) Perhaps better express it as: F= m. a ;
2) a is a vector (directional, with an origin/point of action), so F should be a vector also;
3) only when m is non-zero, then
a = zero will make F =0 ;
4) when m or a is uncertain (or below Planck scale), so will F ;
5) when m is zero (any matter entity cannot be of zero mass), F cannot be non-zero, otherwise a will be infinite.

Just my guess. Seems that my proposal is different to your good answer in mind.

Best Regards. Bottomlander
