    A law and theory are distinct levels in the scientific method. They do not lead to one another.

    A law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world. Laws are always true and do not provide explanations as to why they hold true.

    A theory is an explanation of an observed phenomenon. It is usually based on experimental evidence and bounded most time in the limits of available data.

    A law cannot be deposed. It is a fact and holds true at all times. Theories can be discarded even with new technological advancements that provides a new way of study. This is why it is not a fact.
