Changes

In 2013, Barseghyan initially proposed the Second Law second law to explain how theories are accepted into a scientific mosaic. It states that a theory becomes accepted only when it satisfies the method employed at the time by the [[Scientific Community|scientific community]] in question. Barseghyan also distinguished between methods (the implicit requirements of theory assessment) and methodology (a community’s openly prescribed requirements). Although a theory may appear as though it became accepted in violation of the employed method of the time, it in fact only violated the community’s methodology. By definition, theory acceptance can never violate the employed method.
