The law of conservation of matter and energy.
Nuclear fusion in the Sun converts a small amount of mass into energy (the mass defect) — E = mc^2 — so it illustrates conservation of mass–energy. (Momentum is conserved in the reaction as well, but the key demonstration is mass being converted to energy.)
