Gravity is a law. But a theory does mean proven to be true, but not for sure 100% true. Evolution still has that missing link

As one of my teachers put it "A Law means we know how, why, how much, and everything else there is to know about something. A theory means we know it happened, we just don't know the rest"

Other way around.

Not quite. Gravity is a Law. We know that it exists, and a baseline constant. We also know that wherever in the universe we go, there will be some gravity. Evolution is a theory. We know it happened. We don't have a great deal more solid than that.

Gravity is both a theory and a law. Newton wrote about the law of gravity (i.e. N=mg, etc.), Einstein wrote about the theory of gravity (i.e. gravitons, the Lorentz factor, etc.). A law is describing a natural phenomenon, and a theory is explaining that phenomenon.

[quote]As one of my teachers put it "A Law means we know how, why....."[/quote] This is what also makes it a theory. We can predict gravity all day long but ask a physicist what it is? They won't know nobody knows just what gravity " is".
