{{Topic|Subject=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, #REDIRECT: [[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?|Parent Topic=Mechanism Tautological Status of Scientific Inertia|Formulated Year=2016|Prehistory=|History=|Current View=|Page Status=Stub|Editor Notes=|Order=2|Lower Order Elements=The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)}}{{Acceptance Record|Community=Community:Scientonomy|Accepted From Era=CE|Accepted From Year=2016|Accepted From Month=January|Accepted From Day=1|Accepted From Approximate=Yes|Acceptance Indicators=The question became ''de facto'' accepted by the community at that time together with the whole [[The Theory of Scientific Change|theory of scientific change]].|Still Accepted=Yes|Accepted Until Era=|Accepted Until Year=|Accepted Until Month=|Accepted Until Day=|Accepted Until Approximate=No|Rejection Indicators=}}
