Theory: summarizes a hypothesis (or group of hypotheses) that is supported by repeated testing and observation. A theory is considered valid as long as there is no firm evidence to dispute it. Theories attempt to explain the why of some action. Law: a law explains a body of observations. At the time it is made, no exceptions will have been found to that law. Scientific laws explain things, but they do not describe them. An effort to explain exactly what happened at the very beginning of the universe.
