There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

To put it another way: These "laws" describe what we think is going on based upon human observations and testing.
The scientific method is our tool for figuring this stuff out, and "laws" are subject to change when we figure out or discover something we didn't know before.
Just because something is a scientific law does not mean that it's 100% correct and immutable for all time: It's just our concept of what seems to be happening based on what we observe and what we think we know.
I think there must be a mechanism behind the (stated) laws. This is what interest my reflection.
Well, yeah, these laws describe what we think that mechanism is. It's good that you have an interest in science! Don't give up and keep learning :)
