Are laws (i.e gravity, thermodynamics, etc) absolute? If we were to prove a law wrong, wouldnt it be a theory instead? Or are laws theories?

Almost entirety of physics is based on experimental "evidence" so basically every law is a theory.

Laws can't be disproven, thats why there arent't many that have to do with the real world.

Laws are innate properties of the universe that everything follows, everywhere. Theory's are explanations of observations that have gone through many trials to be disproven.

The concept of proof is alien to science and only applies to axiom-based systems like logic, math and the cult of /sci/entism.
