An33za,
As Trumble has pointed out, above, laws can be disproven. Newton's Law of Gravity, for example, was replaced by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (that introduced new laws of motion under gravitational fields that successfully predicted the bending of light by gravity and correctly calculated Mercury's orbit etc.). Laws are not the apex of science, Theories are. A Law is simply a relationship that affects all objects that undergo the situation in question - they are generic prediction tools. However, they offer no underlying explanation for why that relationship is accurate. A Theory does provide the underlying explanation and any Laws implicit in the Theory should be able to be derived from the Theory. Theories 'outrank' Laws as a result and are what science strives to develop in order to increase our understanding of reality.
Oh come on! I didn't even know this post was addressed to me! Not fair! :blind:
Now what I was trying to say is that there are some things in the world which can definitely be proven. Theories should never be relied upon as theories many times can takes U-turn.
But the Laws f science are now established theories.
Lets have another example. Previously, people believed that Earth was flat. But with the advancement of technology, we finally discovered through the satellites that it was spherical in shape (or whatever because yesterday my phy teacher said that it is not exactly spherical). So the point is that now we 100%, without any doubt, know the shape of Earth. This can't be dis proven. (Or would you still insist that some day people would discover it to be triangular in shape and thus it can also be disproved :uuh:??? LOL! ;D)
Btw, I'm tired of this discussion. You people are going so off-topic. I'm bored!
