Yes. According to law of energy conservation, the total energy of the universe does not change and it is time independent. The time derivative of energy is always zero.

\frac{\partial E}{\partial t} = 0

But for Hamiltonian systems, the total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy but the potential energy is always found to be negative.
