Conservation Laws.
To the physics challenged on here:
Conservation Laws like energy, angular momentum ARE consequences of symmetries in nature. Time tranlsational symmetry, rotational symmetry of spacetime.
They are not necessarily absolutes. You CANNOT apply these conservation laws where they undoubtedly break down. There may be some other more fundamental conservation law that takes over (as yet unknown) BUT it is stupidity to expect them to hold in all regimes. Same goes for 2nd Law of thermodynamics.
Other conservation laws come out of the topological properties of space which also may break down.
Especially when you talk about singularities like the Big Bang you CANNOT liberally apply the known conservation laws. This is BAD physics to do so.
So to kendemyer, you are being foolish to apply high school level physics to areas that are known to violate the conditions they apply. Pick up a grad text on theoretical mechanics, quantum field theory and general relativity and study.
Until then, what you are espousing is NONSENSE.
