Is a scientific law is a well establish hypothesis?

Answer 1

There are many scientific laws. They are scientific principles that have been tested by many scientists, and not been disproved. It takes a lot of scientific evidence to support a theory before it becomes law. A scientific law is a theory or hypothesis that has been tested various times through experimentation and has had data collected and observed.

Answer 2

Not exactly.

A scientific law is actually something that has been proven.

& To this day, it can still be proven.

A well established hypothesis is simply something you think.

Sure, you can test a hypothesis, over and over again, if you'd like....

But, the truth of the matter is that a hypothesis might NEVER be proven wrong.

Stick to the laws... they're the truth.

Answer 3

A scientific law or scientific principle is a concise verbal or mathematical statement of a relation that expresses a fundamental principle of science, like Newton's law of universal gravitation. A scientific law must always apply under the same conditions, and implies a causal relationship between its elements. The law must be confirmed and broadly agreed upon through the process of Inductive Reasoning. As well, factual and well-confirmed statements like "Mercury is liquid at standard temperature and pressure" are considered to be too specific to qualify as scientific laws. A central problem in the philosophy of Science, going back to David Hume, is that of distinguishing scientific laws from principles that arise merely accidentally because of the constant conjunction of one thing and another.

A law differs from a scientific theory in that it does not posit a mechanism or explanation of phenomena: it is merely a distillation of the results of repeated observation. As such, a law is limited in applicability to circumstances resembling those already observed, and is often found to be false when extrapolated. Ohm's law only applies to constant currents, Newton's law of universal gravitation only applies in weak gravitational fields, the early laws of aerodynamics such as Bernoulli's Gravitation do not apply in case of compressible flow such as occurs in transonic and supersonic flight, Hooke's law only applies to strainbelow the elastic limit, etc.

The term "scientific law" is traditionally associated with the natural sciences, though the Social Sciences also contain scientific laws.[2] Laws can become obsolete if they are found in contradiction with new data, as with Bode's law or thebiogenetic law.

Answer 4

A scientific law is something that can be proven, where as a hypothesis is a educated guess that can be proven or dis proven.
