Question
should scientific laws be considered 100% reliable? explain.
Scientific laws are based on repeated observations and experiments within known conditions. However, science progresses by revising ideas with new evidence. For example, Newton's laws work for everyday scales but fail at quantum or relativistic scales. So scientific laws are reliable in their tested domains but not 100% universally as new contexts (like extreme environments) or discoveries might require refinement.

Scientific laws should not be considered 100% reliable. Scientific laws are derived from repeated observations and experiments in specific contexts, but scientific knowledge is provisional. New evidence (e.g., from quantum or relativistic realms contradicting Newtonian laws in those domains) or novel contexts can reveal limitations, requiring laws to be revised or supplemented. Thus, while reliable in tested scopes, they lack absolute, universal 100% reliability as science evolves with new discoveries.
