Who decides exactly that a scientific theory becomes a scientific law?

Question

I understand that a scientific theory takes a long time to become a law. It has to be tested and tested until proven and accepted by the scientific community. What I want to know is who actually says, "This is now accepted as a scientific law" I mean, Newton's laws became accepted as "laws" how?

Answer 1

The straight and rigor meaning of the science community given to the word "Theory" is the same as the general public notion of "Law". Newton's law also becomes inaccurate in say close to light speed and we can argue that the law is violated. Newton's law can be regarded as a theory. Hence there is no single authority or offical process for the establishment of a law. It is more a result of the public notion of a scientific theory.

See discussion in this source.

Answer 2

A theory never becomes a law. Gravity is still just a theory. Laws are something that always happen. So while gravity is a law, it's still a theory.

A theory seeks to explain why something works.

A law explains what will happen.  

Answer 3

That is just a title.

A "Theory" does NOT become a "Law"

They are seperate entities.

A law is something that describes a situation. (Sun sets in west)

A theory tries to explain it. (Rotation of Earth)
