Reply to comment by Own-Cupcake7586 in ELI5: What is Newton’s third law of motion? by Youropinionisvalid
While energy and momentum are related, this comment is conflating the two in a way that might confuse someone just getting started with physics. It turns out that, properly framed, Newton's third law does kind of indirectly imply conservation of energy, but you need some work to get there.
