Physical laws are distinguished from scientific theories by their simplicity. Scientific theories are generally more complex than laws; they have many component parts, and are more likely to be changed as the body of available experimental data and analysis develops. This is because a physical law is a summary observation of strictly empirical matters, whereas a theory is a model that accounts for the observation, explains it, relates it to other observations, and makes testable predictions based upon it. Simply stated, while a law notes that something happens, a theory explains why and how something happens.

Is thermodynamics a law or theory?
Bear in mind that in science, all laws are part of theories. Thermodynamics has 3 laws, and is also a theory.
What is the idea that living things come from nonliving things is called?
spontaneous generation- an impossibility. by law of science, living things only come from other living things. the theory of evolution basically starts with spontaneous generation. otherwise the law is faulty. and its a law. not a theory, a law.
Why do you think our current of atomic structure is well accepted as a scientific theory but is not a scientific law?
In science, "theory" is the name applied to well-established scientific knowledge. It doesn't mean that there are doubts about the atomic theory.
What comes first a law or theory?
The theory come first because without a theory there is nothing to make a law.
How does model differ from a theory?
It means that the theory could be right and the model shows you dimenstionaly.
How does scientific law differ from theory?
A scintific law is a statement that describes what scientisis expect to happen. A scintififc theory is a well-tested explantion for a range of observations. This answers the question '' How Does Scientific Law Differ From Scientific Theroy?''
When can a law or theory be changed?
science
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 does the scientific law differ from the scientific theory?
A theory is just an idea of how things work a law is a theory already proven that applies anywhere just depending of the variables used in the law
Why a myth cannot qualify as a scientific law or theory.?
Because they differ
Whats a well tested explanation in science?
this is not a real questions
What is the definition of law in science?
There is no definition - what's called a "law" is a simplified version of some theory.
An example of a theory and an law?
A theory is an idea system with a lot of evidence to support it--for example, the theory of evolution. A law (in science) is an idea system with proof attached to it--no contradictions--example, the law of gravitation.
Science question What is an idea that has never been proven wrong?
theory
What does theory of law mean?
It refers to the legal rules and regulations in a particular locality. Which often differ
What is the difference between science law and scientific theory?
A science law is a description or prediction of a behavior as a result of repeated observation or testing. It does not involve an explanation or cause of the behavior. A Scientific Theory is an attempt to explain why something happens.
Why is a theory in science not the same as a theory at home?
At home, a theory indefinite and to be treated with some skepticism. In science, a theory is as close you can get to absolute truth without being a law of nature. Theories in science require much experimentation, analysis, and proof, though they can be disproved by later research.
