Scientific Law

A scientific law is a statement that describes a consistent and universal pattern observed in nature, often expressed mathematically. It summarizes what happens under certain conditions, based on extensive observations and experiments. Unlike theories, which explain why phenomena occur, laws describe what happens. For example, Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that every mass attracts every other mass with a specific force. Scientific laws help scientists predict outcomes and understand the natural world reliably, forming the foundation for further scientific exploration and technology development.
