No one, in the field of physics, says the conservation law does not apply to the universe as a whole. In fact the opposite is true, that entropy always increases.

The speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant and can neither increase or decrease.

What is the main. purpose of conservation?

It's a law of nature - the way our Universe works. Whether there is a purpose in the laws of nature... Well, that depends whether you believe whether the Universe was made by God, or by random chance. Perhaps the Universe is more organized that way. In any case, this law is closely related to some other laws, such as conservation of energy, and conservation of momentum.


According to the law of conservation of energy the total amount of energy in the universe?

true


The law which states that the total amount of energy in the universe does not change?

The Law of Conservation of Energy


Does conservation of angular momentum disprove the big bang?

No, This assumes that the universe is a closed system, while this seems a reasonable hypothesis, the modern big bang theory actually states outright that the universe is not a closed system. Conservation of energy is also violated in the current model, the total energy of the universe is increasing.


Does the total energy of the universe stay constant?

According to the law of conservation of mass, the energy in the universe does not gets created or destroyed. It just transforms from one form to another. Hence the total energy in the universe is uniform.

Is the total mass and energy in the universe constantly changing?

The Law of conservation of mass-energy indicates that the mass-energy of the universe is constantly changing to maintain the mass-energy constant.


Does anything in the universe explode or implode without a trace?

No. it might seem like it but everything is made of matter. law of conservation


Why do we follow the law of the conservation of energy?

Because we have to! There is no choice in the matter, it's a physical law of the universe, not a rule made by people.
