A theory is an idea system with a lot of evidence to support it--for example, the theory of evolution. A law (in science) is an idea system with proof attached to it--no contradictions--example, the law of gravitation.

Does a scientific law become a scientific theory?
A theory, when proven over time, can become a law. Example: Law of Gravity and Theory of Evolution
What is 3 examples of theories and laws?
The difference between theory and natural law is that a theory is a framework, while a natural law is a single rule, usually expressed in mathematics. They are not two different stages of acceptance among scientists (as it is sometimes claimed in error); they are two completely different things; a theory does not evolve into a law with when sufficient evidence for a theory has been gathered for example. For example consider: The Theory of Special Relativity <-- Theory Speed of light is constant <-- Law Theory of Electromagnetism <-- Theory Divergence of the Magnetic field is zero <-- Law Quantum Field Theory <-- Theory Conservation of Energy <-- Law
What is a non-example of a scientific theory?
it is a example of a law that can't be proven by science
Why can't a theory become a law?
A law cannot become a theory, as laws are higher in scientific hierarchy than theories. Theories may become laws when the evidence for their factuality proves that the theory meets all established requirements set forth by the theory. If at any point in the scientific method a theory is disproven for the criteria that it sets forth, it can never be considered a Law. The hierarchy is thusly: Hypothesis < Theory < Law.
Give an example of a scientific theory and a scientific law?
is the scientific community's best explanation for certain observable facts
Does a scientific law become a scientific theory?
A theory, when proven over time, can become a law. Example: Law of Gravity and Theory of Evolution
Is the statement that all insects have six legs an example of a law or theory?
a law

Do astronomers use the terms theory and law?
Certainly; for example, the Big Bang theory, Kepler's Laws.
Why is the big bang a theory and not a law?
In science, a theory is the highest denomination that can be given to an idea. In other words, the big bang theory will never graduate into the big bang law. Instead, laws are used as explanations that govern theories. Example: gravity is a theory which is described by Newtonian laws.
What is the relationship between scientific law and theory?
Scientific laws are actually part of scientific theories. A law is a succinct statement of some scientific principle, often in mathematical form. For example, within Darwin's theory of evolution, we find the law of survival of the fittest.
What are differentiate of theory and law?
Differentiate or compare theory from law
What is the Difference between imperative theory and pure theory of law?
command of sovereign sanctioned by punishments is law by imperative theory and law as legal science of norms is by pure theory of law.
How is law different from a theory?
A Theory is unproven, but Laws are proven. Theory becomes law after that theory is proven correct.
What comes first a law or theory?
The theory come first because without a theory there is nothing to make a law.
Give one example of how a law or theory changed when new information became available?
Einstein's Theories of Relativity.
When was Pure Theory of Law created?
Pure Theory of Law was created in 1934.
