The explanation is that you have the misconception that “mass constitutes a 
solid object”.  Instead, mass is *a* property of an object, solid or not.  
Energy is another.  So is momentum.  For example, in quantum mechanics, 
virtual bosons have mass – they are anything but solid objects, they are not 
even observables.

What the layman (and sometimes even the expert) calls a “massive object” is, 
as experimentor during the last two centuries have discovered, actually made 
up of constituents held together by fundamental interactions (also, 
“forces”):

“Solid objects” usually are built from molecules or crystals; molecules and 
crystals consist of atoms that are held together by electron pair-binding, 
for example; an atom consists of electrons and a nucleus that are held 
together by the electromagnetic interaction; a nucleus consists of protons 
and neutrons that are held together by the residual strong interaction; a 
proton and a neutron, respectively, consist of three quarks that are held 
together by the strong interaction.  Whether quarks and other *now* point-
like particles have constituents or are merely results of vibrating, multi-
dimensional strings is still being discussed.

In any case, when you consider that we now know that 98.7 % to 99 % of the 
mass of protons and neutrons, which make up most of the mass of baryonic 
matter in this universe (you, me, everything that you can see), does _not_ 
come from their constituent quarks [1], but from the space between the 
quarks, from the *energy* of *empty space* [2], and that atoms are mostly 
empty as well¹, it should not be at all surprising that matter “can change 
into pure radiation”.  And it should not be surprising that where there is 
so much empty space, radiation can “pass through most massive objects”.
