The Conservation Principle

The Conservation Principle states that in a closed system, certain properties—such as energy, mass, or momentum—remain constant over time. This means they are neither created nor destroyed; instead, they can change forms or be transferred from one part of the system to another. For example, in physics, energy can convert from potential to kinetic but the total energy stays the same. This principle helps us understand and predict how systems behave, ensuring that the total amount of these quantities remains constant unless an external influence is introduced.
