= **Scientific Law** =

A scientific law is a short summary of a body of observations and experiments. Scientific laws describes things, however it does not explain them. They are usually accepted as true and universal. An example of scientific law is Archimedes' Principle of Buoyancy which states, "a body wholly or partially submerged in liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. This buoyant force depends on the density of the liquid and the volume of the object, but not its shape." Overall, scientific laws must be simple, true, universal, and absolute.
