Abstract (2. Language):
The major objective of this article is to demonstrate three scientific laws by artworks.
From the long experience of the author who developed this approach, it makes the laws
clearer, easier to perception and most important to implement them in practice. The
experience of the author can be summarized as follows: for the last 10 years he edited a
one page column on art and science in the Scientific American Journal published in Israel
and so far wrote 59 articles. For the last 6 years he edited such a column in the Quimica
and Industria magazine published in Spain and so far wrote 25 articles where during
2000-2005 he acted as associate editor of art and science in the Canadian Journal of
Chemical Engineering published in Canada in which he wrote 29 articles. In addition he
established 40 exhibitions on Art and Science where in Ben-Gurion University of the
Negev he established the museum of Art and Science.
Now what is the definition of a scientific law? In the internet many definitions can be
found part of which are summarized in the following: 1) Scientific laws are statements
that describe, predict, and perhaps explain why a range of phenomena behave as they
appear to in nature. 2) A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental
observations that describes some aspect of the world. 3) A scientific law is an empirical
statement of great generality of something, which seems to always be true. 4) A
scientific law or scientific principle is a concise verbal or mathematical statement of a
relation that expresses a fundamental principle of science. 5) A law in science is a
generalized rule to explain a body of observations in the form of a verbal or
mathematical statement. The major properties of scientific laws are: 1) They can be
formulated mathematically as one or several statement or equation, or at least stated in
a single sentence, that it can be used to predict the outcome of an experiment, given the
initial, boundary, and other physical conditions of the processes which take place, 2)
They are strongly supported by empirical evidence. 3) They summarize a large collection
of facts determined by experiment into a single statement.
