[QUOTE="Gene2memE, post: 77471932, member: 341130"] You don't appear to be differentiating between a scientific law and a scientific theory. If something is a repeatable phenomenon, you can formulate a scientific law. This describes the observation of that phenomenon. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, for instance, describes the behaviour of physical objects in relation to each other. It's useful in most frameworks, except for the very small or the very large/very fast/very high energy (where it breaks down and the laws of general relativity are more useful). A theory is the framework that provides the underlying explanation of observations described by the law. [/QUOTE]
