#REDIRECT: [[Tautological Status of The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)]]
|Question=Is the first law a ''tautology'', i.e. can it ''in principle'' be violated?
 
|Topic Type=Descriptive
 
|Description=As any law, [[The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)|the first law]] attempts to forbid certain courses of action, for otherwise it would lack any empirical content and would be a tautology. However, it is not quite clear whether the law in its current formulation can be contradicted by any conceivable situation. So the question is whether the law is tautological or non-tautological, i.e. whether there are circumstances (perhaps the collapse of the society which contains the scientific community) under which the first law can ''in principle'' be violated?
