The conservation of energy is a strong law of physics since it has in roots in the invariance of the theory under a time shift (Noether's theorem). Every invariance implies a conserved quantity and time invariance implies conservation of en...

Yeah, more or less. Energy can only be changed from one form to another. Heat is a special case, being the graveyard of energy. It also defines matter as a compact form of energy.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity shows that energy and mass are the same thing, and that neither one appears without the other. Thus in closed systems, both mass and energy are conserved separately, just as was understood in pre-relat...
