If you agree that Sir Isaac newton generally knew what he was talking about, you can

take the simple answer from his work.

Newton's so-called 3rd law of motion says that for every action, there is an equal and

opposite reaction. That pretty much rules out the possibility of a single isolated force.

If it is a single force, by definition it can occur alone

Forces ALWAYS occur in pairs. For example, if you exert 20 N of force on a chair, the chair is exerting 20 N of force on you.

Sort of; it's true as stated, but remember that any measured force may be the resultant of two or more initial forces. But the end result is identical to two equal & opposing forces.


What law says that forces always come in pairs?

Newton's Third law of motion. This stated that with every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This proves that with one force, an equal and opposite counter-force will always also exist, thus proving that forces are always present in pairs.
