Conservation lau•s have a deep connection
with symmetries of nature that you will explore
in more advanced courses in physics. For
example. an important observation is that the
laws of nature do not change with time' If you
perform an experiment in your laboratory today
and repeat the same experiment (on the same
objects under identical conditions) after a year,
the results arc bound to bc the same. It turns
out that this symmetry of naturc with respect to
