A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some

aspect of the universe.

A scientific law always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal
relationship involving its elements. Factual and well-confirmed statements like "Mercury is liquid at
standard temperature and pressure" are considered too specific to qualify as scientific laws. A
central problem in the philosophy of science, going back to David Hume, is that of distinguishing
causal relationships (such as those implied by laws) from principles that arise due to constant
conjunction.[1
Laws differ from scientific theories in that they do not posit a mechanism or explanation of
phenomena: they are merely distillations of the results of repeated observation. As such, a law is
limited in applicability to circumstances resembling those already observed, and may be found false
when extrapolated. Ohm's law only applies to linear networks, Newton's law of universal
gravitation only applies in weak gravitational fields, the early laws of aerodynamics such
as Bernoulli's principle do not apply in case of compressible flow such as occurs
in transonic and supersonic flight, Hooke's law only applies to strain below the elastic limit, etc.
These laws remain useful, but only under the conditions where they apply.
THEOREM

In mathematics, a theorem is a statement that has been proven on the basis of previously
established statements, such as other theorems, and generally accepted statements, such
as axioms. A theorem is a logical consequence of the axioms. The proof of a mathematical theorem
is a logical argument for the theorem statement given in accord with the rules of a deductive system.
The proof of a theorem is often interpreted as justification of the truth of the theorem statement. In
light of the requirement that theorems be proved, the concept of a theorem is
fundamentally deductive, in contrast to the notion of a scientific law, which is experimental.[2]
any mathematical theorems are conditional statements. In this case, the proof deduces the
conclusion from conditions called hypotheses or premises. In light of the interpretation of proof as
justification of truth, the conclusion is often viewed as a necessary consequence of the hypotheses,
namely, that the conclusion is true in case the hypotheses are true, without any further assumptions.
However, the conditional could be interpreted differently in certain deductive systems, depending on
the meanings assigned to the derivation rules and the conditional symbol.
Although they can be written in a completely symbolic form, for example, within the propositional
calculus, theorems are often expressed in a natural language such as English. The same is true of
proofs, which are often expressed as logically organized and clearly worded informal arguments,
intended to convince readers of the truth of the statement of the theorem beyond any doubt, and
from which a formal symbolic proof can in principle be constructed. Such arguments are typically
easier to check than purely symbolic ones—indeed, many mathematicians would express a
preference for a proof that not only demonstrates the validity of a theorem, but also explains in some
way why it is obviously true. In some cases, a picture alone may be sufficient to prove a theorem.
Because theorems lie at the core of mathematics, they are also central to its aesthetics. Theorems
are often described as being "trivial", or "difficult", or "deep", or even "beautiful". These subjective
judgments vary not only from person to person, but also with time: for example, as a proof is
simplified or better understood, a theorem that was once difficult may become trivial. On the other
hand, a deep theorem may be stated simply, but its proof may involve surprising and subtle
connections between disparate areas of mathematics. Fermat's Last Theorem is a particularly well-
known example of such a theorem.
