a "law" occurs when a "theory" can be mathematically expressed.

How is a scientific law unlike a scientific theory?
scientific law is unlike a scientific theory in a sense that its the next step above a scientific theory.A scientific law is one that has been proven, a scientific theory has not been proven yet.

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
How is Scientific law and scientific theory diffrent?
A scientific law is the description of a recurring event that occurs in nature. A scientific theory is an explanation of the law. The law does not change, but the theory may change when new data indicate that it needs to.
What is the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law?
A scientific law states a pattern found in nature and a scientific theory explains that pattern
What is the diffrence between scientific law and scientific theory?
A law is known to be true. There is no dispute about it. A theory is disputable. Gravity is a law, the Big Bang is a theory.
What is difference between a scientific theory and scientific law?
Mostly semantics. A "law" is a theory that can be expressed mathematically.
How does a scientific law and a scientific theory relate?
A theory explains how something works - a "law" is just a thumb nail description of a theory.
How would theory distinguish a scientific theory from a scientific law?
By not doing nothing
