Best Answer

After your bomb has gone off, you could hypothetically pick up all the pieces of it. If you add up the weight of all the pieces (including all particles), and compare it to the weight of your original bomb, you will find some mass missing. This mass has been converted into energy and this has created the destruction caused by your bomb. How much energy has been created is given by E=MC^2 where M stands for the missing mass and C for the speed of light.
