Newton's Laws of Motion.these are two of many that i believe will be rewritten that i can think of now, but i cant be 100% sure until a week or so where we will be more informed of It.
Again, theories are not laws.
scientific law: A logical, mathematical statement describing a consistency that applies to all members of a broad class of phenomena when specific conditions are met.
scientific theory: An explanation of why and how a specific natural phenomenon occurs. A lot of hypotheses are based on theories. In turn, theories may be redefined as new hypotheses are tested.

You will have to show me why Newton's Laws of Motion are not true.
I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.
III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

technically, a "law" in science is really just what people previously called theories.
all "laws" in science are subject to the same principles as theories, and all they do is model testable predictions. Differentiating between the two is irrelevant in modern science, and the terminology is a leftover of more archaic scientific philosophy (before modern science, people were obsessed with these immutable laws of the universe).

i'll help you point one out.... "nothing can travel faster then light".... ehhh.... kinda sorta... although light can't exceed FTL the universe can create an illusion to where it even tricks itself....
Light inside a blackhole is accelerated by centrifugal force to the outside observers if you could see light and the blackhole it would appear to speed up but inside the blackhole from the perspective of light it is still only moving at light speed 🤓 😖mart:

why do i have to have gotten that piece of knowledge from an outside source. why cant i simply been smart enough to have come up with it on my own? when it comes to science theory the dumbest sci fi geek is just as likely and able to come up with a simple quantum physic mechanical idea based on observation of the real world and common sense.
i forgot how to post a vid here its bn too long but here is the link

I find it strange how you changed what I quoted from a Science dictionary.

However, the web site aside, I was taught that the terms law and theory have a fundamental difference. Laws describe phenomena, while theories tell how/why these phenomena work. My point was that they have a different function. I was explaining this to someone who seemed to be getting them confused.

I don't think they were though
A scientific law is merely something people called well established parts of theories. The laws of thermodynamics are better called the "theory of thermodynamics" or possibly "thermodynamic heuristics".
For instance, the Gestalt laws of perceptual categorization. They were scientific "Laws" that were eventually found to not be as absolute as the term "law" applies, and are now thought of as governing principles, but not immutable laws.
Thermodynamics would be the same, with the exception that it describes something that is likely constant everywhere in the universe. However, this does not mean that it must be, and that makes, in a strict philosophy of science sense, the term "law", as in immutable constant of the universe, inappropriate.
Like I said, I'm being pedantic

That is wrong. It assumes, ignorantly, that mass is constant whereas we know that mass increases when an object is moving.
