	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.

	Conservation of mass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The law of conservation of mass/matter states that the mass of a system of substances is constant, regardless of the processes acting inside the system.
		The law of conservation of mass fails for nuclear processes, where the equivalence of matter and energy, and hence conservation of energy, applies.
		The law was first clearly and unambiguously formulated by Antoine Lavoisier, who is often referred to as the father of modern chemistry.

	Conservation of energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, is possibly the most important, and certainly the most practically useful of several conservation laws in physics.
		This is obvious to a modern analysis based on the second law of thermodynamics but in the 18th and 19th centuries, the fate of the lost energy was still unknown.
		Conservation of energy can be shown through Noether's theorem to be the result of the time-invariance of the laws of physics (=time has no effect on any physical process).

		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") (This only applies to systems describable by a Lagrangian).
		In fact, quantities that are conserved, the invariants, seem to preserve what one would like to call some kind of a 'physical reality' and seem to have a more meaningful existence than many other physical quantities.

	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.
		Law of conservation of matter: During an ordinary chemical change, there is no increase or decrease in the quantity of matter.

	Conservation of Mass
		The conservation of mass is a fundamental concept of physics along with the conservation of energy and the conservation of momentum.
		From the conservation of mass, these two masses are the same and since the times are the same, we can eliminate the time dependence.
		The conservation of mass equation also occurs in a differential form as part of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid flow.

		The law conservation of mass states that within a closed system, the total mass remains constant.
		The law of Mass Conservation is a development of Lavoisier's experimental discovery that, when all substances were properly accounted for—specifically gasses, during the process of combustion—the total weight of a closed system is not changed by a chemical reaction.
		In the early twentieth century it became clear that radioactivity violated both the classic "law of conservation of elements" and the classic "law of conservation of weight." It was found that small changes in mass occur when elements undergo radioactive disintegration.

	The Law of Conservation of Momentum
		Basic among the natural laws are the so-called conservation laws which, in essence state that in a given physical system under specified conditions, there is a certain measurable quantity which remains changeless, regardless of any actions that may take place within the system.
		An off-shoot of Newton’s second law, this law is as fundamental to physics as the law of conservation of mass energy.
		The principle of the conservation of momentum states that for a dynamical system consisting of a number of material particles at different masses, and with different position vectors, if the only forces acting are the mutual interaction of the particles, then the total momentum of the system would remain constant.

		There are more subtle conservation laws in particle physics like those of spin, baryon number and more recently strangeness.
		For instance, time-invariance implies that energy is conserved, translation-invariance implies that momentum is conserved, and rotation-invariance implies that angular momentum is conserved.
		Such is the violation of parity conservation; apparently the universe has "handedness" (right versus left).
