Hey /sci, I heard one of my professors whisper to someone that conservation of energy isn't real. Is this true?

>> No.10030234

>>10030230
not in an expanding universe, only locally

Well not when when you factor in antimatter, but that probably never is relevant.

since everything naturally seeks out their lowest energy state does this mean that a bigger universe has lower energy than a smaller one?
especially since radiation loses energy, wavelength becomes longer as the universe expands

>> No.10030303

Yes, else you won't have nuclear power. You only got conservation of mass and energy.

massenergy is what's conserved
that's what e=mc^2 is all about
