	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Law of Conservation of Matter
		Conservation of matter, therefore, implies that matter can be neither created nor destroyed--i.e., processes that change the physical or chemical properties of matter (such as change of state, from a solid to a liquid to a gas) leave the total mass of matter unchanged.
		The "matter" which is said conventionally to be converted to "energy" (heat and light) in these processes, is the part of matter represented by the mass of nuclear or electromagnetic fields which are present in, and contribute to the mass of, the nuclei of atoms.
		Historically, the conservation of mass and weight was kept obscure for millennia by the buoyant effect of the Earth's atmosphere on quantities of gases, an effect not understood until the vacuum pump first allowed the effective weighing of gases using scales.

	Law of conservation of matter Summary
		Conservation of matter, therefore, implies that matter can be neither created nor destroyed--i.e., processes that change the physical or chemical properties of matter (such as change of state, from a solid to a liquid to a gas) leave the total mass of matter unchanged.
		The law of conservation of matter was first clearly and unambiguously formulated by Antoine Lavoisier, who is often referred to as the father of modern chemistry.However, other scientists Mikhail Lomonosov (1748) had previously expressed similar ideas.
		The "matter" which is said conventionally to be converted to "energy" (heat and light) in these processes, is the part of matter represented by the mass of nuclear or electromagnetic fields which are present in, and contribute to the mass of, the nuclei of atoms.

	Conservation of mass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ''''law of conservation of mass/matter'''' (The Lomonosov-Lavoisier law) states that the mass of a closed system of substances will remain constant, regardless of the processes acting inside the system.
		The law of conservation of mass (which is effectively conservation of weight when weights are properly taken) was clearly formulated by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789, who is often for this reason (see below) referred to as the father of modern chemistry.
		Historically, the conservation of mass and weight was kept obscure for millennia by the buoyant effect of the Earth's atmosphere on quantities of gases, an effect not understood until the vacuum pump first allowed the effective weighing of gases using scales.

	sciforums.com - Matter Theory Conflict
		The Lavoisier law of conservation of matter was formulated in the 18th century (perhaps even the 19th century).
		The equivalence of matter and energy was formulated in the early 1900's and should be regarded as more correct than the conservation of matter (since basically it states that matter is not conserved and we know that this is the case).
		However, the law of conservation of matter seems to apply in some cases, which is in low-energy (non-relativistic) systems where not enough energy is released to form new particles.

	Conservation law Summary
		The conservation laws show that matter and energy can be neither produced from nothing nor reduced to nothing, whether it be through a physical reaction (such as a collision), a chemical reaction (such as combustion) or a nuclear reaction (such as an atomic explosion).
		All of the conservation laws are based upon hundreds of years of empirical evidence and have as their authors some of the most respected scientists of all time.
		According to the conservation laws, the particle number (the sum of all the pluses and minuses) must be the same before the decay reaction as after.

	Law of conservation of matter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The problem, however, is that we now know that such fields represent an appreciable percentage of the mass of ordinary objects, and even of particles themselves when they are compound particles (i.e., hadrons).
		According to classical physics, energy is conserved because of the nature of forces.
		Even in nuclear chemistry, whenever matter is completely destroyed, it is always matter in the sense of fermionic particles encountering their antiparticles (for example, positrons may be created and destroyed when they encounter electrons).

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Conservation law (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves.
		Noether's theorem expresses the equivalence which exists between conservation laws and the invariance of physical laws with respect to certain transformations (typically called "symmetries") for systems which obey the Principle of least action and hence having a Lagrangian and a Hamiltonian (See Classical mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics for details).
		In fact, quantities that are conserved, the invariants, seem to preserve what some would like to call some kind of a 'physical reality' and seem to have a more meaningful existence than many other physical quantities.

	Limitation of the Law of Energy Conservation
		The law of conservation of energy is today an accepted doctrine that governs all energy-exchange phenomena of nature.
		At that stage (1931) when the law of conservation of energy was threatened, the existence of a new particle (neutrino), till then unknown, was postulated to save the law.
		However, when the spatial reality of fields and absence of energy at electron's centre are recognized, the law of conservation of energy becomes applicable only to the universe as a whole, though for the phenomena involving material interactions due to conservation of momentum, the energy conservation law will be valid also in isolated systems.

		Thus stated, the law may be admitted to hold the position of a fundamental axiom in modern physics; the nature of the evidence for it, we shall consider later.
		His statement of the law was, however, in advance of the existing experimental evidence, and he was led to it partly by philosophical reasoning, partly by consideration of physiological questions.
		A law of nature must be founded on experiment and observation, and the general agreeement of the law with facts leads to a general belief in its probable truth.

		Refine and extend the particle model to develop an atomic model of matter, and become familiar with some of the history of the evolution of this model.
		Throughout this session, we visit Rebecca Cituk’s classroom in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where we listen as her sixth graders discuss the differences between chemical changes and physical changes and elements and compounds, and perform a classic experiment to see if matter is conserved in a chemical change.
		Along the way, we revisit some of the experiments of Lavoisier and Boyle that broke substances down to their simplest components—elements—and provided the first evidence for the law of conservation of matter.

		Another school of thought, the Aristotelian group, believed that matter was infinitely divisible, that one could take the smallest piece of matter imaginable and then divide it into smaller pieces, and in turn divide those pieces, and on and on.
		By the 18th century scientists had done thousands of experiments on the properties of matter and had formulated laws such as the Law of Conservation of Matter, and the Law of Multiple Proportions.
		Thus, atoms are the building blocks of matter on the atomic scale, elements are the building blocks of matter on the macroscopic level.
