By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”
Physical laws are just conclusions drawn based on years (or however long it takes) of scientific observations and experiments which are repeated over and over under different conditions to reach inferences which can be accepted worldwide. These are continuously validated by the scientific community over time.

In the beginning, it was assumed that the earth was the centre of the universe. Then it was hypothesized that our sun is the centre of the universe. We now know that both these conclusions are wrong. The sun may be the centre of our solar system, but it is not the centre of the universe.
Another example is the odd behaviour of the planet, Mercury. Newton’s universal law of gravitation was able to explain all the other planets in the solar system but the orbit and rotational period of Mercury was a bit off, and for some time no one knew why. Later, Einstein came to the rescue with his general theory of relativity.
The different properties of laws of Physics which shed information about their nature are given below:
Basic laws of physics that govern our universe can be categorized in two ways. Classical physics that deals with us, the surrounding environment and the observable universe around us. Apart from this, there is also atomic physics that deals with subatomic particles and their interactions (quantum mechanics).
There are so many laws of Physics which deal with various elements in the world. But all these laws of Physics are categorized into two:
The three laws of Physics refers to Newton’s three laws of motion as follows:
Newton’s three laws are as follows:
Following are the seven laws of the universe:
There are 12 laws of the universe as follows:
