Hello
I was just thinking about the Newton's law of gravitation and Einstein's theory of relativity. Newton's law of gravitation was inferred by Newton , probably based on some earlier experiments and Einstein's theory of relativity takes its inspiration from Michelson Morley experiment. Both have been verified experimentally to a great extent. So why one is called a law and other is called a theory. What are the differences ?
thanks
