SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the relationship between T-symmetry and the conservation of energy, specifically in the context of CPT-symmetry and CP-symmetry. It is established that while CP-symmetry is broken, T-symmetry is also broken, but this does not imply a violation of energy conservation. According to Noether's theorem, energy remains conserved despite the lack of T-symmetry under reversal, as T-symmetry is still symmetric homogeneous under translations.
