The discussion centers on whether the law of conservation of mass conflicts with the first postulate of the special theory of relativity, which states that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames. It suggests that the definition of "mass" is crucial to this understanding. The consensus is that if mass is conserved in one inertial reference frame, it remains conserved in all frames, indicating no conflict exists. Participants encourage further clarification of thoughts to enhance the discussion. Overall, the law of conservation of mass aligns with the principles of relativity.
