	List of laws in science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most significant laws in science are conservation laws:
		Law of force - Force equals mass times acceleration divided by the square root of one minus the ratio squared of the object's velocity to the speed of light.
		Coulomb's law - Force between any two charges is equal to the absolute value of the multiple of the charges divided by 4 pi times the vacuum permittivity times the distance squared between the two charges.

		Fick's Law of Diffusion: The net diffusion rate of a gas across a fluid membrane is proportional to the difference in partial pressure, proportional to the area of the membrane and inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane.
		Ampère's Law: For any closed loop path, the sum of the length elements times the magnetic field in the direction of the length element is equal to the permeability times the electric current enclosed in the loop.
		Faraday's Law of Electrolysis - Michael Faraday: The mass of a substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis is proportional to the number of moles of electrons (the quantity of electricity) transferred at that electrode.

	Darwinism - Science or Philosophy? Chapter 3 - Laws, Causes, and Facts: Meyer, Stephen C.
		Many scientific explanations depend primarily upon antecedent causal conditions and events, not laws, to do what I have called the "primary explanatory work."{6} That is to say, citing past causal events often does more to explain a particular phenomenon than citing the existence of a regularity in nature.
		The law stating that all matter gravitates according to an inverse-square law is consistent both with an apple falling to the earth and with an astronaut flying to the moon.
		Most scientific laws have the form, "If A then B will follow, given conditions X." If X are altered, or if A did not obtain, then it constitutes no violation of the laws of nature to say that B did not occur, even if we expected it to.

	list of scientific howlers in literature - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		A howler is a glaring blunder, usually in an academic examination; a scientific howler is a howler which shows the author to be either ignorant of some aspect of science, or to be a poor observer of the natural world (or, frequently, both).
		It might be argued that science fiction contains more scientific howlers than any other genre (such as faster than light travel, time travel, teleporting, and so on, which contradict known laws of physics).
		However, it might be reasonable to forgive these authors such lapses, because one point of sci-fi (especially soft science fiction) is to ponder the impact of actual or imagined science upon society and individuals.

		This indicates that observation also seems to be an important part of the scientific process -- quite a departure from the absolutely objective, deterministic way things used to be with Newton.
		The radius r of the event horizon for a Schwarzschild fl hole of mass m is given by (in geometrized units) r = 2 m.
		The radiated power P (rate of emission of electromagnetic energy) of a hot body is proportional to the radiating surface area, A, and the fourth power of the thermodynamic temperature, T.

	NRDC: Environmental Laws and Treaties
		This law is commonly refered to as "Superfund." In 1986 major amendments were made in order to clarify the level of cleanup required and degrees of liability.
		Under this law, which overhauled the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, the Environmental Protection Agency is required to better protect infants and children from pesticides in food and water and from indoor exposure to pesticides.
		The law is our nation's leading instrument for the conservation of these species, and is an international model for such laws.

	Science and the Scientific Method
		The scientific method encompasses both the mathematical and empirical sciences, and we briefly discuss why it is necessity that drives science and determines what we mean by the scientific method.
		In particular, the need to produce scientific evidence, be it in the form of a proof of a theorem or in the form of experimental data needed for verifying or falsifying a particular theory, guides this mode of inquiry.
		This approach towards nature's laws has already paid rich dividends, as is evidenced by the establishment of the ``standard theory'' of particle physics in which all the known forces and constituents of matter have been unified into a common framework of quantum field theory.

		Pointing to the list of abuses of trust involving university foundations, and to the fact that taxpayer dollars often are mingled with private dollars in ways that render a public-private distinction virtually meaningless, they conclude that public disclosure will serve both as a deterrent and as a regulatory force.
		Examination of the case law reveals that those seeking access to university foundation records are largely dependent upon judicial definitions of "public agency" in state statutes — and upon the deference shown by the courts to university administrations.
		Whether public records laws apply to university foundations in these states is determined by an examination of the foundations' funding sources.

		Scientific research on many CAM therapies is relatively new, so this kind of information may not be available for every therapy.
		While some scientific evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies--questions such as whether they are safe, how they work, and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used.

	Protecting Scientific Integrity
		The February 2004 Restoring Scientific Integrity in Policy Making report, along with the July 2004 Update, having established widespread and serious abuse, raise the issue of what reforms should be adopted to restore scientific integrity to the formation and implementation of federal public policy.
		One solution could be to create a corps of scientific ombudsmen who would, on a confidential basis, be responsible for resolving such problems in collaboration with the inspector general of the department and the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
		The OSTP director, as the most senior scientific advisor in the U.S. government, should once again have the stature of assistant to the president for science and technology, and should report directly to the president.
