You're still thinking classical, it's outdated, has been for over 100 years. Mass and energy are one and the same, because everything's just waves on strings being observed from different dimensional perspectives. No, they're not. Energy is energy. Mass is mass. Mass is connected by energy, the work done by mass is fueled by energy, but they are not one and the same. Energy is invisible no matter what you use to try to look for it, but mass can be visible through a powerful enough microscope. That's how I learned it in high school physics.
