Conservation of area solving a PDE via finite difference scheme

I have two PDEs that describe the movement of fluid: $h_t + [h^3(1-h)^3((1+\varepsilon h)\sin \theta - \varepsilon h_\theta \cos \theta]_\theta$ = 0 $h_t - [h^3(1-h)^3 \varepsilon h_\theta]_\theta$ = ...

Using NDSolveValue for Solving a parabolic PDE numerically

Inspired by this question I am trying to solve the following PDE numerically on $x \in [-3, 3]$ and $t \in [0, 0.5]$ using NDSolveValue: $$ \frac{\partial p}{\partial t} = (12x^2-4) p + \left[4x(x^2-1)...
