The Theory of Uniformity

The Theory of Uniformity suggests that natural processes and laws operate consistently over time and space. In other words, the way nature behaves in one place or time is similar to how it behaves elsewhere or at another time. This idea underpins scientific reasoning, allowing us to infer future events based on past observations. For example, knowing that water boils at 100°C at sea level helps us trust that it will do so again under similar conditions. Overall, the theory provides the foundation for making predictions and understanding the natural world through consistent laws.
