To accomplish this, a scientist makes observations, conducts experiments, and uses perhaps the greatest probing tool ever: mathematics. When scientists do discover these hidden truths of the universe they hand out names such as laws, principles, theorems, theories, etc. to these general behaviors of the universe. We get terms such “laws of physics”.
