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.
What theory is correct?
No theories are correct. That is why they are called theories. These are the best that can be done with present knowledge, they explain and make prediction that could otherwise not be made. If those explanations are useful and the predictions turn out to be correct it strengthens the theory. It does not prove it. When a theory is proven to be true it is then called a law.
Can a scientific theory become a scientific law?
You're playing with words ... a "law" is just a thumb nail description of a theory.
Why might a theory or scientific law change after it has reached general acceptence?
Continuing research can turn up new or conflicting information regarding a theory or scientific law. It will then be changed even after general acceptance.
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.
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
When was Pure Theory of Law created?
Pure Theory of Law was created in 1934.
What the similarities between law and theory?
"Law" is just a thumbnail version of a theory.
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.
How is a theory diffrent from a law?
A law is a description of a naturally occurring phenomenon, whereas a theory attempts to explain a law.
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 Archimedes Principle a theory or a law?
It was a law not the theory because this principle has also proved by him.
