At least five characteristics apply to all scientific laws: (1) They can be expressed mathematically. ... (2) They are not always exact. ... (3) ... the law describing the phenomenon is always simple. (4) ... scientific laws are universal. (5) By using statistical probabilities, they can be used to predict future physical events)
