A Scientific Law must be:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

First, let’s layout the question and the available choices clearly so we can compare them.
Question: A Scientific Law must be:
Options:
- a. Supported by lots of people
- b. Approved by the court
- c. Tested by a series of Experiment
- d. Described by hypotheses

Now, analyze each option in turn.
Option a: 'Supported by lots of people' sounds persuasive, but scientific validity isn’t about consensus or popularity. A claim could be widely believed yet still be incorrect; science requires testing, evidence, and reproducibility, not just broad agreement. Therefore this is not a sufficient criterion for a scientific law.
Option b: 'Approved by the court' misframes science as a legal or judicial standard. Courts evaluate evidence and interpretations in legal contexts, but scientific laws are not statutes or court verdicts. They are descriptions of natural regularities supported by evidence, not judicial approvals.
Option c: ' Tested by a series of Experiment' aligns with the scientific method: repeated testing, observation, and verification across experiments build confidence that a generalization holds under specified conditions. This reflects the empirical, testable nature that characterizes scientific laws.
Option d: ' Described by hypotheses' confuses a process with a product. Hypotheses are tentative propositions to be tested; a scientific law is a well-established description of phenomena, often derived from a large body of tested evidence, whereas hypotheses are starting points for investigation.

To summarize the misconceptions: popularity (a) and court approval (b) do not establish scientific validity; describing by hypotheses (d) is an ongoing step in inquiry, not the defining criterion of a law. The strongest criterion for a scientific law is rigorous empirical testing across multiple experiments, as stated in option c.
