What was the last scientific "law"?
So, new "laws" stopped being added in physics, chemistry, and biology sometimes in the beginning of the twentieth century, but continued to be added in geology, geography, economics, linguistics, sociology, etc. at least into the last quarter of that century. Is it correct?

Evolution of Eyes & Ears
Not all the DNA, but only a DNA in a gamete. Perhaps a DNA in some ovum or a spermatozoon thinks, "My host needs eyes", modifies itself, and prays to be the chosen one.

If Teresa's daughter is my daughter's mother, then what is my relationship to Teresa? After you answer it, I will describe a little experiment with ChatGPT that sheds light on how it works.

What was the last scientific "law"?
THIS is the essence of my OP question, rather than some epistemological definition.

Now you have added yourself to my Ignore list. Bye-bye.

Evolution of Eyes & Ears
No, not philosophy. Speculations.
-
Evolution of Eyes & Ears
Then, this thread should be not in the Evolution forum, but in the Speculations forum. Which I ignore.

You can un-ignore.

What was the last scientific "law"?
Yes, I am wondering the same. Can't find an independent source of it.

What was the last scientific "law"?
What do you think of Llinás's law - Wikipedia? I never heard of it before this discussion and don't know what its scientific status is.

What do you think was the last "law" in biology?

What was the last scientific "law"?
It seems to me that the Hubble's law was the last one that fits this description. (Thanks for the list again, @Jez. +1)

Wave function collapse (split from informational diode)
Actually, the wave function describes probability amplitude, a complex value. The probability distribution is a squared modulus of the wave function and contains less information about the state of the system.

... decrease in pressure ? ...
I also don't think that the body rises more slowly when the wall moves. But I think that there is another term in the equation that needs to be taken in account, namely, the kinetic energy of the fluid replacing the volume occupied by the body. When the wall does not move, this fluid has to come from above the body down to under the body. But when the wall moves, part of the replacing fluid comes from the side, horizontally, because the volume there decreases. Thus, less replacing fluid comes from above, which, I think, reduces the kinetic energy of the moving fluid. IOW, when the wall moves, the energy of the impact of the body and the barrier is the same, but the thermal energy produced by the moving fluid, is smaller. I am guessing here. Does it make sense?

What was the last scientific "law"?
LOL. Thank you. Interesting list. I've started to look at these laws from bottom up and immediately found - attention, OT - that Llinas's law points to a fundamental difference between the neuron in neuroscience and the "neurons" in DNN used in AI. In DNN, all neurons are interchangeable, and the only difference is in the weights assigned to their connections. Quite possible. Here is an anecdote: "I have an equation; do you have one too?" Paul Dirac, on meeting Richard Feynman. He didn't say "a law".

LED as camouflage
It seems plausible, but how important is a visual detection from below with today's war tech?
-
What was the last scientific "law"?
Yes, no entry for, e.g., Mendel's laws either. I don't think that the Stigler's law would pass a statistical test.
-
What was the last scientific "law"?
How does the Stigler’s law of eponymy apply to, say, Kepler's or Newton's laws?
-
What was the last scientific "law"?
I think that these more recent laws are called "laws" for marketing purposes.
-
What was the last scientific "law"?
Thank you. Perhaps I better narrow down the question and limit it to "precise sciences" (or whatever they are called) like physics and chemistry. Otherwise, we find things like "Tobler's first law of geography", (Tobler's first law of geography - Wikipedia).

What was the last scientific "law"?
Every "law" has a name. What is a name of this law? Is it "iNow first law"?
-
What was the last scientific "law"?
For several hundreds of years important statements in natural sciences were called "laws". But some time ago new "laws" stopped to appear, and the important statements now seem to be rather called "principles" and "equations." Is it so? If so, what was the last "law"?

Solve without algebra
Yes, just a bit... +1 BTW, ChatGPT didn't have this deception as the problem has been presented in a text. It didn't help.
