about theories and laws?

C. Theories and laws are the same thing.
D. A theory can never become a law.


Sagot :

D. A theory can never become law.

All scientific hypotheses are supported by data, are testable, and—most importantly—can be used to forecast the future. Accordingly, ideas never become laws, regardless of how much evidence there is to support them. In actuality, the end purpose of science is the formulation of theories. Any (expressed) law is a theory even though it can contain some truth that can only be derived from facts or another theory.

A theory is something we can only (temporarily) believe in since we are unable to prove it. A law cannot be a fact since it usually has an undefined, universal scope, and we can only collect a limited number of observations, some of which may be nothing more than dreams.

Therefore, I would say that any scientific law is a theory, a conviction, or a hypothesis, and we should anticipate that it will be challenged, improved, or supported by... another (simpler or more compelling) idea.
