| law |
The term law is often used to refer to universal principles that describe the fundamental nature of something, to universal properties and relationships between things, or to descriptions that purport to explain these principles and relationships. For example, "physical law"s, or "scientific laws" attempt to describe the fundamental nature of the universe itself. Laws of mathematics and logic describe the nature of rational thought and inference. ...

| law of gravitation |
The popular model of general relativity, as causing a flat surface like a rubber sheet to curve into a manifold is unhelpful to further progress in unifying quantum space with gravitation, since physical space fills volume, not surface area. This ‘obvious’ fact is obfuscated by jargon in physics! ...
