what are the laws of the universe?

Like we have the law of gravity, of attraction....what else?

  1. There are too many to list.  Take courses in physics, chemistry, and mathematics if you really want to know.


  2. We have only scratched the surface of understanding those laws. But it may safely be said that they are those forces which nature itself must adhere to, whatever they may be and no matter how we may come to understand them.

    Yet, as Hume so elegantly pointed out, "To command nature, one must obey nature." That means that whether we KNOW them or not, we must understand something about them in order to use them.

  3. There are three major laws of the universe.

    -The law of attraction of the homogeneous species.

    -The law of reciprocal action.( What you sow you will reap. )

    -The law of gravity.

    And these three laws of the universe are hold together through the  law of movement.

  4. the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is one, AKA: Entropy

  5. Change of form is the only law...

    Proof: Take any law; it will be having formula like

    x=yz+k => z=(x-k)/y => k=x-yz => y=(x-k)/z etc... So change of form is the only law.. All other laws comes from it

  6. the law of the conservation of energy/matter. energy/matter can never be created or destroyed. it can only change form.

  7. Nobody knows for certain.  There might not even be any laws.  The scientists who discover these laws, such as Newton and Einstein, operate under certain assumptions, such as the existence of space, time and matter (which we call "fundamental units").  The Laws of Nature are the relationships these units have to one another.  If we are wrong and these units don't exist, obviously there can be no relationships between them, and therefore no laws about them.  However, lets assume they do exist.  The Laws of Nature would therefore depend on our understanding of these units.  Newton's laws explained every physical phenomenon we had experienced at that time, but they were based on the idea that space is Euclidean and that time is absolute.  It was not long afterward that we discovered the orbit of Mercury could not be explained by Newton's laws, and we needed to reconsider the units and their relationships.  Eventually, Einstein realized that space is non-Euclidean and time is relative, and this resulted in a change in our understanding of the Law of Gravitation, among other things.  Sometimes, laws only need a small change, such as Einsteins adjustment to Newton's laws.  Sometimes, more drastic changes are required.  Sometimes laws need to be abandoned altogether.  And sometimes, entirely new laws need to be discovered.  It all depends on our understanding of the fundamental units.
