But definition aside, it does not take neutral atoms to cause gravity. It does not even take protons or neutrons or electrons to create gravity. Smash matter into their continue to quarks, the shattered subatomic particles together with the liberated binding energy that formerly held together excertd precisely the same gravity as their when they were assembled into anything you might call matter.
The total gravitational energy of the universe is fixed, however the constituent parts of the universe evolves.
I know the textbook answer, but do you think matter/mass causes gravity or space time curvature?
