Abstract
The conservation of mass and energy concept is unanimously considered to be a law of nature since its postulation in the 18th century by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier. However, the postulate did not take into consideration the 20th century Theory of Relativity. Based on the observation that the gravitational acceleration is independent of the motion mass of the falling object, we derive a paradoxical thought experiment that deviates from Lavoisier’s postulate. We use the mathematical models of the Special Theory of Relativity and Newtonian gravitation to demonstrate that the model permits generation of mass and energy in a manner that is fundamentally different than the one used by Barber’s 1982 Self Creation Cosmology. A sample calculation is also provided before the concluding remarks.

For instance an constant force acting upon a body will not provide a constant acceleration, this is because, as velocity increases, the motion mass of the object increases, diminishing the acceleration which tends to zero as the relative velocity of the body approaches the speed of light
Summary
Mass and energy conservation is universally thought to be valid; this paper will try to generate a paradox based on the equations of the Special Theory of Relativity and the classical gravitational model. Newton’s law of universal gravitational attraction is proportional to the mass of the bodies in question, following the mathematical expression of Eq(1). (Barber, G.A., 1982) into what is called the Self Creation Cosmology (SCC), a model that allows mass and energy to be created. (Brans, C.H., et al 1987), Barber shows that the SCC is internally consistent Another important new framework for gravity is the MOND model, Ref.(Milgrom, M., 1983) which predicts the observations of uniform velocity of rotation of galaxies.
