scientific law  

Définition

  • Empirical regularity or functional relationship established between variables, ideally universal (i.e., independent of time and space, culture), linked to more general principles and thus having explanatory power, preferably expressible in quantitative terms (Roediger, 2008; Teigen, 2002). A law must also support counterfactuals (Goodman, 1955).
