Law of Conservation of Mass
"We may lay it down as an incontestable axiom that, in all the operations of art and nature,
nothing is created; an equal amount of matter exists both before and after the experiment. Upon this principle, the whole art
of performing chemical experiments depends."
--Antoine Lavoisier, 1789
