When a scientific theory has been tested and proved by the scientific community, it becomes a law

. Scientists form a theory, or a guess.

2. They run experiments.

3. If the experiments agree with the theory, it becomes a law. Therefore, gravity is true, evolution and climate change are guesses, etc.

Both theories and laws could potentially be falsified by countervailing evidence. Theories and laws are also distinct from hypotheses. Unlike hypotheses, theories and laws may be simply referred to as scientific fact.
