If you’ve ever watched a video clip of a computer scientist playing with a computer, you might think that they are playing a video game. However, that is not how the scientists are playing. They are just playing a different version of the game. The game being played is called a game of life. The science behind this is that the laws of physics allow for a contracting spherical cloud to collapse into a disk, and for a disk to then start to rotate and spin like a top.
You might be wondering why scientists would be playing a game of life. It turns out that they are playing a game of life in the process of creating a new model of law. The new model of law is called conservation law. The beauty of conservation law is that it allows for the conservation of mass, energy, and momentum on a sphere-to-disk (or planet-to-planet) basis.
Conservation law is a new framework for law that takes into account the physical laws of physics. So a sphere-to-disk planet-to-planet system, for example, could be modeled as a system of conservation laws as well as the laws of physics. The physics and conservation laws would be the same, but the law-preserving dynamics would be modeled differently.
When modeling a system like this, conservation law is the basis for the law-preserving dynamics of the system. But there’s another part of conservation law that is also important: A spherical object falls into a sphere, so conservation law does not account for the conservation of mass. Conservation law makes a sphere-to-disk system of planets fall into a disk.
Conservation of mass is a very important law in the universe. It makes it possible to model and understand the behavior of these other laws in the universe. In many cases, conservation of mass is a good approximation of the true laws of physics. The laws of conservation of momentum, energy, and angular momentum are all correct if you model them correctly in a spherical system.
But that isn’t the case with this cloud-to-disk collapse. The conservation of mass is just an approximation that’s not enough to model the collapse of a large object. And the conservation of angular momentum is only an approximation of the conservation of angular momentum. Because the angular momentum of a system is a measurement of the moment a system’s mass is being acted upon, the conservation of angular momentum is an approximation at best. The conservation of momentum itself is a much stronger approximation.
Yes. I know. Its still a good question. I could say that conservation of momentum is almost an exact approximation to conservation of angular momentum, but the two concepts are not the same. Conservation of angular momentum doesn’t require that you be around to measure it. But conservation of momentum does.

What conservation law makes a contracting spherical cloud collapse into a disk? Well, that’s a pretty boring question. It’s just a law of physics, and it just happens to determine when and how a cloud collapses. The law of conservation of angular momentum is the law of conservation of angular momentum.
