	Science
		A physical law or law of nature is a scientific generalization based on a sufficiently large number of empirical observations that it is taken as fully verified.
		Isaac Newton's Newtonian law of gravitation is a famous example of an established law that was later found not to be universal - it does not hold in experiments involving motion at speeds close to the speed of light or in close proximity of strong gravitational fields.

		These are often adages or predictions with the appellation 'Law', although they do not apply in the legal sense, cannot be scientifically tested, or are intended only as rough descriptions (rather than applying in each case).
		These 'laws' are sometimes called rules of thumb.
		See List of scientific laws for falsifiable laws that said to apply universally and literally.

	Boyle's law Summary
		Boyle's law is an expression states that the volume of a given amount of a gas varies inversely with pressure.
		Boyle's law (sometimes known as the Boyle Mariotte law) is one of the gas laws.
		After making a change to the system, typically by forcing a change in the volume of the vessel containing the fixed quantity of gas, the new volume and new pressure are measured.

		After Romulus had distinguished the persons of higher rank from those of inferior condition, then he passed laws and apportioned the duties for each to do: the patricians to be priests and magistrates and judges; the plebeians to be farmers, cattle breeders, and artisans of gainful trades.

	Beer-Lambert law Summary
		In 1729, P. Bouguer (1698-1758), was the first to state the law of absorption: the fraction of light absorbed by a particular material (i.e., the decrease in the intensity of the light beam as it passes through the material) is directly proportional to the thickness of the material.
		In optics, the Beer-Lambert law, also known as Beer's law or the Lambert-Beer law or the Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law is an empirical relationship that relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material through which the light is travelling.
		In essence, the law states that there is a logarithmic dependence between the transmission of light through a substance and the concentration of the substance, and also between the transmission and the length of material that the light travels through.

	Scientific theories of the near-death experience
		Some scientific claims state that death is the end of consciousness - like shutting of the television set is the end of the television signal in the air waves.
		A psychology professor named Dr. Ronald Siegel from UCLA rejects the spiritual and mystical importance of NDEs.
		Some people believe that science needs better tools to quantify what consciousness is. Perhaps when we discover what consciousness is we will be on the road to providing absolute scientific evidence that there is life after death.

	Scientific Knowledge Is Money in the Bank; Forum (Skeptical Inquirer March 1996)
		At the center of the scientific method, he said, is the hypothesis, or "the scientific guess." Gilbert used the origin of Coon Butte to illustrate how this works.
		The first came from a shepherd named Mathias Armijo, who found pieces of iron near the crater and reasoned that an explosion had hurled the metal out of the ground and formed the big hole (one does not have to be a scientist to think scientifically).
		Unfortunately, even after the successes of twentieth-century science between Gilbert's time and now, there are a lot of people who still don't like (or don't understand) the scientific form of reasoning.

	Points to Consider When Planning a Genetic Study that Involves Members of Named Populations - Bioethics Resources on ...
		By sharing results with a community after a study has been completed, research participants are more likely to know what to do to seek treatment or how to implement preventive measures to improve their health.
		There are no laws or regulations that explicitly govern the conduct of genetic research involving members of a named population.
		After hearing about the nature and scope of the study, how it would be conducted, and what protections were in place for guarding confidentiality, community members became better informed about the specific study goals.

	Laws of Nature: A Skeptic's Guide (Skeptical Inquirer September 2000)
		Anyone who has studied physics (the science of the laws of nature) knows how daunting the task is of learning the philosophical and mathematical formalisms needed to fully comprehend, express, and apply natural laws.
		We have confidence in these laws because with all the observations and experiments that have been (and continue to be) performed, no exception to them has yet come to light; that is, they constitute the best explanation of the natural world available to us today.
		Clearly, the Law of Entropy rules out practical perpetual-motion machines whose efficiency is by definition 100 percent, not to mention those miraculous "free-energy" machines that, on their own, produce more energy than they consume (thus exceeding 100 percent efficiency).

		The laws Descartes is talking about are such things as the laws of physics, the principles of respiration and circulation, and so on.
		Given scarcity of resources, people tend to fight for survival, power, and protection; and the result, according to Hobbes, is that the "state of nature" is a state of war.
