Question
I will probably be laughed out of town for saying this, but why can't the Energy Conservation Law be broken?
Everybody thought electricity to motion was impossible until Faraday made his motor, nobody believed Tesla would make a brushless motor, and now everyone ignores the potential existence of energy creation.
I see that no device has been made yet that destroys the Conservation Laws, but that does not mean it is impossible.
Is there anything in our understanding of physics that would break down if this were the case?
P.S : In the physics videos I have seen, the professor demonstrates that energy cannot be created. His method was hardly scientific. I agreed with him that his setup would not create energy. In other words, saying a brushless motor is impossible while demonstrating a brushed motor proves nothing.
Please note: I mean no offense... just trying to get to the details
Explanation / Answer
The energy conservation law is compatible with every single observation we have made inside the Milky Way in science, or outside science, so the empirical evidence in favor of it is overwhelming, diverse, and universal.
Theoretically, the case is also clear. Emmy Noether demonstrated that conservation laws are linked to symmetries. The validity of the energy conservation law is equivalent to the time-translational symmetry of the laws of physics: the same phenomena occur if one starts with the same initial conditions but just a bit later. This is true for the laws of mechanics, field theory, electromagnetism, nuclear interactions, classical physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, special relativity. The energy conservation law is valid in all these situations and respected by all the major theories describing these subfields of physics.
Motors, those produced by Faraday, Tesla, or anyone else, as well as all other engines and objects in the Universe preserve the energy, too. And there exists no equivalence or analogy between the energy conservation law and the existence of Tesla's or Faraday's motor. In particular, there has never existed any solid evidence
