		EPWN3D 3 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: ADHD and monotropism (2023) They're Newton's laws of universal gravitation, not a theory. The difference matters because Newton's laws describe what happens in nature without positing a mechanism. Einstein provided the mechanism via general relativity, which is a theory.
