Abstract
We have known the laws of conservation of mass and energy from high school, but neither of them is universally applicable. Because matter is converted to energy in the presence of nuclear reactions or at speeds near to the light speed. They are applicable in the absence of nuclear reactions and at normal conditions on the surface of the earth.
