"A 'law' of science (same as a theory) is ONLY a 'law' until it is disproven or changed & replaced." Yep, that's true, but it is pretty rare. "It used to be that the 'law' held that the nucleus of an atom was the smallest discrete unit of matter --- now that belief has been tossed on the rubbish heap of outmoded concepts." Umm, don't mean to be picky, but to my knowledge, there never was any such "law" about atoms. Maybe you could point me to some "law" to that effect? I remember my grade school science classes where that THEORY was taught. I think we're starting to pick nits now, though. Probably boring the rest of the thread to death. <G>
