How are law and theory related?
A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.
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 difference between a scientific theory and scientific law?
Mostly semantics. A "law" is a theory that can be expressed mathematically.
Can a scientific theory become a scientific law?
You're playing with words ... a "law" is just a thumb nail description of a theory.
Does a scientific law have to be a theory first?
A scientific law is the last step in a series of steps that starts with an observation and a possible theory of why is it or how is it happening.
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.
Is the speed of light a law or theory?
The speed of light is a number. It was a theory before it was measured. After it was measured, and the prediction was found to be correct, it was no longer a theory nor a hypothesis. It became a "physical constant".

When was Pure Theory of Law created?

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 the criteria for an idea to become a physical law?
For an idea to become a physical law, it must be rigorously tested through experiments and observations to demonstrate its consistency and validity across different conditions. It should also be able to accurately predict and explain natural phenomena in a concise and generalizable manner. Peer review and acceptance by the scientific community are also important factors in establishing an idea as a physical law.
What is the criteria used by the Catholic Church?

Is the Archimedes Principle a theory or a law?
