conservation of matter, (in physics) a law stating that matter can be neither created nor destroyed and that the amount of matter in the universe is finite. It is superseded by the special relativity equation e = mc2, but it is still applicable in the chemical process. Also called conservation of mass. See also conservation of energy.
