Best Answer

Consider the superstitious beliefs that it is unlucky to walk underneath a ladder, and unlucky to break a mirror. Things can fall off ladders, so some actual risk exists. And mirrors, when this superstition originated, were quite expensive, so it really was quite unfortunate to break one. Aside from which, you can cut yourself on pieces of broken glass. So some element of truth can be found in these two cases, although the concept of bad luck is generally extended well beyond the point of any scientific validity.

Does superstitions practically exist?

Superstitions exist in the sense that they are beliefs or practices that are based on superstition or irrationality rather than evidence or logic. While some superstitions may have cultural or historical significance, they do not have practical or scientific validity. However, people may still hold onto superstitions due to personal beliefs, cultural traditions, or psychological reasons.

How does a scientific law differ from a state law give some examples of that?

A scientific law is a description of a natural phenomenon that is universally accepted and typically expressed in mathematical form (e.g., Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation). In contrast, a state law is a rule or regulation enacted by a government that governs behavior within a specific jurisdiction (e.g., speed limits on highways). The key difference is that scientific laws describe natural phenomena, while state laws regulate human conduct.
