mLine 1:
Line 1: − + − − Law and Theory − ---- − − A Scientific Law is a description of a observation as opposed to a Scientific Theory which is an explanation of those observations. A good example of this is [[Gravity]]. Where in you have the law of Gravitation which states: any particle in the universe attracts any other particle with a force that is proportional to the product of the masses of the two particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Then you also have the [[Theory of Relativity]] which explains the law of Gravitation. − − Contrary to popular belief, a law is not superior to a theory. A theory will never be a law. Just as a description can never explain anything. If all we had were laws of science we would have a very well described universe but nothing would be explained. − ==References== − − Webster's Dictionary − <references/> −
