Periodic table

For example, by accepting Newton's law of gravity, one can generalise that any object of mass m, which has a specific distance r to earth, will fall to the ...

Second, there is a debate in metaphysics about whether things are the way they are in the universe by necessity or just by accident. Each statement is encoded in the table as the periodic classification is based on the underlying electronic structure of elements. As they attempt to understand the structure of the world, philosophers persistently ask whether there are laws of nature that govern the behaviour of things in the universe. Moreover, laws of nature are (at least approximately) true at any time and place in the universe. Examples from science that philosophers have examined as paradigmatic candidates include Newton’s law of gravity, the law of demand and supply, and the laws of thermodynamics. The periodic table is one of the greatest scientific achievements of all time.
