OP, do you have any data to suggest that the existing model is wrong?
If so, what anomalies does your hypothesis explain that the existing theory cannot accommodate for, i.e. what specifically is wrong with the existing model, where is the data to demonstrate it and how does your hypothesis resolve it?

Scientific theories are not "just theories", they are backed up with a mountain of scientific facts. OP, what data is there to suggest that the existing model is wrong and how does your hypothesis resolve the anomalies?
So I speculated that gravity is the result of an internal black hole caused by nuclear fusions

That time period is 10^19 years AT LEAST.
So white dwarfs can produce heat for that long by just "stored thermal energy"? I don't buy it.edit on 14-9-2011 by smithjustinb because: (no reason given)

Regardless of our understanding of black holes, we have a pretty darn good idea of how stars work. I'm all good for speculation with the facts, but the OP is speculating against them. Seems a bit silly unless he can substantiate his speculation and kept it within the realm of factual understanding.

Force and energy are not the same, yet you handily interchange them to justify your conclusions. Therefore, your logic is flawed.

Feel that we were impressed with your proposal.

There is no medium to absorb the heat, it's not like a hot cup of tea in a cold, oxygen filled room. The only way for heat to escape is through radiated energy into the vacuum of space, and the white dwarf will be very, VERY dense and hot to begin with, so it will take a very long time considering the interior temperature is 10^7 kelvin.
You're just compounding your initial errors with more errors. As Ben said, force and energy are not interchangeable. In your clarification, you confuse more terms and definitions which are also not interchangeable.

Electromagnetic energy radiates from a star by a gravitational force fusing nuclei together of elements that are lighter than iron.
E=mc^2
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Since you are producing energy in a star, you are effectively producing mass.
