The Extraphysical Conservation Problem refers to the theoretical difficulty of extending classical conservation laws (energy, momentum, information, etc.) beyond the physical universe into hypothetical extraphysical domains such as multiverses, higher dimensions, probability spaces, or non-material realms. While physics assumes conservation holds within a closed system, this problem questions what happens when the “system” includes parallel universes, branching timelines, or non-physical layers of reality. It asks whether conservation laws still apply globally, whether they are redistributed across realities, or whether conservation itself breaks down outside spacetime. The problem is central to speculative cosmology, multiverse theory, and extraphysical metaphysics.
Extraphysical Conservation Problem — Example
Imagine a multiverse experiment where energy appears to vanish from our universe during a quantum event. Later, another universe shows an unexplained energy surge at the exact same probabilistic moment. Locally, conservation seems violated in both universes, but globally—across the multiverse—the total energy may remain conserved. The problem is that observers inside only one universe cannot verify whether conservation holds extraphysically or is merely broken beyond their measurement horizon.

Get the Katseye Conversation mug.the type of conversation you have with someone who doesnt gaf what youre talking about. asks you questions and then forgets the answer. introduces themselves to you 3 times in 2 different occasions. because theyre so special and different to be studying abroad in europe for 3 months and getting shit faced everyday—you are just not that interesting. its like watching a movie that feels like a really long trailer.
jennifer: hi! im jenny
maria: oh hi what do you study? where are you from? how long have you been here. oh cool cool. yea. im european. yea these fucking exams.
*next party*
(maria to jenny): oh hi whats your name?
jenny’s friend: sup jenny
jenny: yo!
jenny’s friend: what do you think of maria?
jenny: meh idk man just erasmus conversation typa person
jenny’s friend: never ending trailer fr, like spice up the fucking small talk or atleast remember my fucking name LOL

Get the erasmus conversation mug.The decision faced when prompted with a low battery on a device such as a phone or ipod you wish to use later. Brought on by the fear that by going through the energy-consuming act of turning off the device you may actually use the last of the battery you are trying to conserve.
As Jenny needed her phone to call a cab later but had minimal battery left, she was faced with the Battery Conservation Paradox. Did she dare attempt to turn off her phone lest it die completely?
