Energy isn't "destroyed" and mass isn't "created"

Basically mass is a "form" of energy. Much like ice is a "form" of water. So while one could, kinda, say "ice is destroyed when it melts into water" it isn't exactly true (even though it is no longer ice).

When you have kinetic energy you must have?

When you have kinetic energy, you must have a mass and a velocity since kinetic energy is half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity.


How is the principle of conservation of energy seen in fission and fusion reactions?

Because of the principle of energy conservation the lost mass must reappear as generated energy, according to Einstein's equation E = mc²


Is the total amount of energy in the universe constant?

There is no known principle that allows mass/energy to be created or destroyed. Theoretically, the total amount of mass/energy in the universe must remain constant. Note: the ability to derive work from energy depends on irregularities in the distribution of mass/energy throughout a volume. As entropy increases, mass/energy will dissipate throughout a given volume, and the ability of that energy to produce meaningful work diminish.
