So here he's talking about conservation of velocity.
- So here he's talking about conservation of velocity.
- How does this not violate momentum conservation?
- It's provably, by Bell's theorem, the only way to fulfill local conservation laws in the measurement process.
- That plus I have energy and I have momentum and I have laws of conservation for them.
- And he's saying if there's a conservation of information theorem, then why is it that he forgets stuff?
- The sand stops, but conservation momentum is still real, so the earth must have speed up a little bit.
Examples
-
Now this is the law of energy conservation for a closed system.
-
The first question seems to be, does the Law of Conservation of Energy apply or not?
Fiction book (1992) -
Well, what it says is that conservation laws are much more general.
-
So we're in this energy conservation mindset without even knowing it.
-
Second, the variance in energy prices over time creates uncertainty about the return on energy conservation investments.
Academic text (1999) -
See, thanks to the principle of the conservation of momentum, the stone doesn't lose momentum from the throw when it collides with the water.
-
The tomb's walls are decorated in colored frescoes that are in need of immediate conservation.
Academic text (2011) -
It's because so long as you describe gravity as the curvature of space as you do it in Einstein's theory, this conservation law is always fulfilled.
-
The governmental agencies with soil-conservation responsibilities were reconstituted or, in some cases, abolished (Cocklin 1989).
Academic text (1991) -
The law of energy conservation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.

Etymology
The word conservation comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and servare 'to keep'. Think of coins in a closed jar: even if you shake it, the total does not change, so in physics conservation means certain amounts are kept the same during a reaction or movement.
