Can somebody verify the truth of this (Autor's) Law? Every scientific Law has exception except this one?

Answer 1

if you mean 'verify' in the sense of 'examine every scientific aw and see if it has an exception, well, no. In the case of axiomatic laws like say the laws of dynamics they are considered foundational. Exceptions would mean they weren't laws. In the case of empirical laws, which can have exceptions and still be considered laws you would need to know all possible (not just feasible) states of affairs, to compare them with all scientific laws.

If you mean 'is this statement logically coherent', yes. It is not the case of a self-referent law that contains its own contradiction. In other words, it is logically coherent to say 'every law has an exception except this one. There would be a problem if it simply said 'every scientific law has an exception'. then Autor's law would have an exception, which would mean that there was a law without an exception. But this would contradict the law. Therefore there cannot be a scientific law that says 'every scientific law has an exception'. So you need something to make sure that the law you are stating does not include itself in its own ambit. The phrase 'except this one' does that.

I think.
