Why what we know about cells is called a theory and not a law

Biology

Afina-wow [57]3 years ago

The term "law" is a historical relic going back to Newtonian times, when after Newton's development of classical mechanics, it was thought that the workings of the universe were directly analagous to a perfectly constructed and perfectly predictable clockwork. That was turned on its head as a result of quantum mechanics, and modern scientists typically avoid use of the term "law" anymore because it is too dogmatic. Newton's "Laws" are still called that mainly for historical reasons now. What used to be called laws are now called theories.

The first-time parents of a newborn are concerned about red pinpoint dots on their infant's face and neck. how should the nurse
seraphim [82]
It is true that first time parents are usually concerned about red dots on their infant's face and neck. The nurse should tell these new parents it is quite normal for newborn's skin to have these red dots and these red dots are normally harmless and usually disappear after a few weeks.   
Common rashes or red spots on newborn babies are believed to be due to exposure in the womb to maternal hormones. These new born rashes are believed to be normal and would normally disappear after a few weeks on their own.
