My theory is that the gravity for the matter that was turned into energy does disappear and that is why a black hole can explode, because nearly all the matter converts to energy in one Big Bang. So imagine that we turn 1% of a bombs mass into heat, are you sure the gravitation is not reduced by 1%? Why? There is 1% less mass. How can heat generate gravity? (Don't think in photons, imagine it was an underground test where all the photons were absorbed by the walls and turned into heat.) Probably what you are getting at is that one could make energy by moving toward the mass before it disappeared and then away after. But maybe this is the same energy of the blast, just a different way of looking at it. -- Vince
