No, a theory is an idea someone has to explain something. The veracity of a theory needs testing.

A law is an explanation for something, where the veracity of the explanation has been widely tested and as a result of this testing the explanation has not yet been disproved.

False. A scientific theory and a scientific law are not the same thing. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world, based on extensive evidence and experimentation, while a scientific law is a statement that describes a consistent and observable phenomenon, often expressed mathematically. Theories can evolve and change with new evidence, whereas laws are generally accepted as universally applicable under specific conditions.
