> Energy and momentum are always conserved in EVERY physical process.

Veritasium recently claimed otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcjdwSY2AzM



That is about something entirely different. It more or less just says that energy might be lost if you have a flux towards infinity. It does not in any way claim e.g. that the divergence of the stress energy tensor is non-zero (which would be how I think most people would interpret energy/momentum conservation).
