Scientific theories and laws technically are never true. They are models that scientists create in order to predict outcomes. Since nature has given us no essential axioms everything scientists have done is just a model. For example: When maxwell originally developed his theory he used a set of cogs and wheels to explain electromagnetism. He later realized these were not necessary and dropped them from his formulation. This changes the essence of his theory but both ways delivered the same predictions given a set of data points. Similarly, before Einstein, newtons laws were considered infallable however later we realized that newton's laws only work in certain realms. Even Einstein didn't have the whole story. Dirac later applied his relativistic theories to the quantum field. Currently dirac's theory has the largest realm of applicablity (although it is very difficult to use). However even dirac's theory cannot explain all realms. Therefore theories and laws, since they are not essential to nature and are just models and can be replaced.

Is thermodynamics a law or theory?
Thermodynamics is both a law and a theory. It has a set of well-established laws, such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which describe the behavior of energy in systems. Additionally, the principles and concepts underlying thermodynamics are formulated into a theory to explain and predict the behavior of physical systems.
How were Isaac Newton's theories correct?
In a world where motion on the Earth was limited to the fastest horse or the speed of wind in a storm or tornado, his laws of motion were entirely adequate and correct for all practical purposes. The speed of light was the only thing that did not fit in with his equations, but as I mentioned, it was not a factor in his theories. His three laws of motion are correct and still used when the components of the affected system are not moving at relativistic speeds.
According to Copernicus what planet are located between the sun and the earth?
All the theories have Mercury and Venus between the Earth and the Sun.
How scientific theory and scientific law are the same?
They are not the same, theory is just that, it may be provable in some instances, but cannot be positivity applied to all cases, law however can. Their similarity is that they both require some proof, but law needs to be proven to be true for all cases.
What is one of the major theories of biology which states that all organisms are made up of cells?
The "cell theory" - (which by the way demonstrably a fact).
Do all theories become laws?
all theories don't become laws
Do theoris become laws?
all theories don't become laws
Are scientific laws and scientific theories the same?
No, scientific Laws and scientific theories are not same.Scientific Laws have proofs, they are acceptable by all like Newton's Laws of motion are accepted by allwhere as scientific theories demands proofs, these are not acceptable by all Like Theory by Charles Darwin is not acceptable by all
Why don't hypothesis all become theories?
A scientific theory is something that is expiremented/tested. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they aren't facts,they are educated guesses.
What laws are in Spain?
The spanish constitution says it all, but they dont have it on the web. Mostly the same laws though.
Where is the place where are all the laws kept for Saudi Arabia?
Laws are intangible things, like ideas or theories. They do not occupy physical space, and therefore cannot be "kept" anywhere.
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.
Scientific laws and theories cannot change?
Laws can only be changed if enough evidence has been given to disprove the law and place another law in its place. Theories change all the time. Theories are basically a question that scientist try to answer. Theories are just an idea that scientists give as an explanation to a question but they are not sure yet
Will all the chemical reactions are obey thermodynamics law?
No one has yet documented a case where a chemical reaction does not obey the laws of thermodynamics - so - yes - all the chemical reactions will obey the laws of thermodynamics. On a philosophic note: since no exceptions to the theories that constitute thermodynamics have been observed, we consider them "laws". Should we ever find an exception, we will have to modify the theories to craft new rules that will then be considered "laws". That's how science works.
How does technology apply to science?
Science is all the knowledge, laws and theories that we currently have and technology is the application of that knowledge to make our lives easier.
Why don't all hypothesis become theories?
A scientific theory is something that is tried and tested, and not yet disproven. It is close to being scientific 'fact' as you can get. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they get disproven. That means the hypothesis will need to be changed and tested again.
Are theories elevated to laws?
All theories don't become laws because of several reasons, most notably the notion that anybody can come up with a theory before having sufficient proof to back it up.Remember that one of the first few steps of the scientific method is to formulate a hypothesis. Regardless of the hypothesis' correctness, it is still a theory which may or may not become true. Rigorous testing and examination must prove it to be true. Many theories in science especially conflict with one another, but the laws are universal to my understanding.For example, the law of universal gravitation is accepted everywhere because it has been tested quiet a bit (without which we would not have entered space). However, many theories such as those that examine how the earth was created are still subject to intense speculation--was it the Big Bang, God, evil robotic aliens?So there you have it.
