Energy Conservation
There are many types of energy: kinetic energy, heat, potential energy, mass energy, etc. While these properties seem very distinct at first, they are in fact multiple sides of a same reality, energy, which is overall conserved during any physical phenomenon. For instance, when the fission of a heavy nucleus produces lighter nuclei the missing mass is not lost, it has been converted into kinetic energy. Energy conservation is a fundamental principle in physics.
