Theories v.s Laws Timeline

  • Newtons Law

    Newtons Law
    Newtons law. Newtons law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It may be seen as a statement about inertia. That objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force acts to change motion.
  • Charles law

    Charles law
    Charles law also known as the law of volumes. Is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated. A modern statement of Charles law is: When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant. The Kelvin temperature and the volume will be directly related.
  • Oxygen Theory

    Oxygen Theory
    Lavoisier is most noted for his discovery of the role oxygen plays in combustion. He recognized and named oxygen and hydrogen and opposed the phlogiston theory. Lavoisier helped construct the metric system. Wrote the first extensive list of elements, and helped reform chemical nomenclature.
  • Quantum Theory

    Quantum Theory
    Quantum theory. Is the theoretical basis of modern physics.That explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.
  • Benford's Law

    Benford's Law
    Benford's law, also called the first digit law. Is an observation about the frequency distribution of leading digits in many real life sets of numerical data. The law states that in many natural occurring collections of numbers. The leading significant digit is likely to be small.
  • Curies Law

    Curies Law
    In paramagnetic material the magnetization of the material is directly proportional to an applied magnetic field. However, if the material is heated, this proportionality is reduced. For a fixed value of the field. The magnetization is inversely proportional to temperature.
  • Plate Tectonics Theory

    Plate Tectonics Theory
    Plate tectonics. Is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth is divided into a couple dozen plates. That moves around across the earth's surface relative to each other. Like slabs of ice on a lake.
  • Big Bang Theory

    Big Bang Theory
    Big bang theory. A theory in astronomy. The universe originated billions of years ago. In an explosion from a single point of nearly infinite energy density. Compare steady state theory.
  • Game Theory

    Game Theory
    Game theory. The branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of strategies. For dealing with competitive situations where the outcome of a participants choice of action depends critically on the actions of other participants. Game theory has been applied to contexts in war, business, and biology.
  • Birch's Law

    Birch's Law
    Birch's law can be used in discussion of geophysical data.The law used forming compositional and mineralogical models of mantle using change in velocity of seismic wave and its relationship with change of density of material the wave is moving in. Birch's law is used in determining chemical similarities in the mantle as well as the discontinuities of the transition zones. Birch's law can also be employed in the calculation of an increase of velocity due to an increase in the density of material.
