Re: What I was taught
The label of "law" is only that, a label, which was applied to a few scientific theories that have remained intact through the centuries. However, "law" is a bit of a misnomer, since they are still theories that could be overturned if experimental evidence was discovered that conflicted with such laws. The same is true for all scientific theories. The usage of the term "law" seems more akin to tradition related to certain well estabilished theories. I think it would be better to rid the lexicon of the term law all together and just use the term theory, as would be appropriate.
