Gravity is just a theory March 3rd

[jent]

Not to split scientific hairs but isent gravity considered a law, and not just a theory? Here are a couple pages from wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory#Characteristics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_law

Theories are typically less tested and supported...for example evolution, general relativity, quantum mechanics, etc.

Also I would like to point out that "Newtons Law of Gravitation" is considered a law, and not a theory:

Again....sorry for splitting hairs, but it was bugging me......

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying over head --
There were no birds to fly.

On a similar note, Conservapedia has a few things to say about the fallacy of gravity.

The human race is doomed.

i hope against hope that nobody on these boards believes that utter rubbish.

It should be pointed out that The Onion is a parody newspaper.

Shhh! It's real!

It's just the (conspiracy) that wants you to believe it's fake!

Yeah, well, we've had a good run. Want an invitation to my end of the world party?

No!!! How is the evil army supposed to take over the world?

Do you remember those old Duck Dodgers clips where Daffy Duck Dodgers is standing on a tiny fragment of blown up planet X and claims it for Planet Earth?

According to Steven Jay Gould, both evolution and gravity qualify as both theory and law -- theory because they are technically unprovable, law because they've stood up to every test so far.

Technically, though, just because they've held up with every test so far doesn't make them scientific law. The theory is universally accepted as true, but is still theory (even if it seems stupid for it to remain so, it's at least consistent).

Sure, I'll come. But just yesterday, I altered one of my unused genes slightly, so I am now no longer a member of the human race - so even if all humans die, I shall escape!

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

So what's this about a party? Will there be cake?

Yeah, uranium cake.

Astro.....well put, could not have said it better myself

And thanks for correcting my post :-)

Yeah, uranium cake.

Don't be alarmed; it's just a name.

It's really made with plutonium.
