Scientific laws and life principles

The universe and our whole human existence is goverrned by sets of rules. There are biological laws,laws of Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Phonetics, Electromagnetism, etc.. These laws are constantly being revised, they change, their validity may be challenged: that´s the essence of life and the construction of human and scientific thought as opposed to dogmas.
If we start by having a look at five BASIC laws of Economics:

PARKINSON´S LAW:" Work expands to fill the time available" The more time workers have to complete their task, the less efficcient they become.

Jean Baptiste SAY´S LAW: "Supply creates its own demand" Every time industrial or agricultural output rises, so does income.

GRESHAM´S LAW :"Bad money drives out good" If a government issues debased currency instead of gold and silver, the old "pure" currency disappears from circulation.

The Iron Law of Wages: "Wages are always set at subsistence level" If earnings fall below it, workers won´t be fit to work; if earnings rise above it, the working population grows, and increased competition for jobs forces wages back down to subsistence levels. David Ricardo

The law of Diminishing Returns: "In any venture there comes a point at which further investment ceases to bring a worthwhile profit" A. R. J. Turgot

Now it´s your turn to describe the basic laws of the following subjects:

PHONETICS: OSTHOFF, VERNER; GRIMM; ,G.K. ZIPF´S or The Law of Least Effort,etc..

CHEMISTRY: ARCHIMEDES,BERNOUILLE´S, POISEUILLE´S, STOKE´S,etc...

PHYSICS: NEWTON´S THREE LAWS OF MOTION, NEWTON´S LAW OF GRAVITATION,EULER´S, MAXWELL´S, HOOKE´S LAW, SNELL´S LAW, BRAGG´S LAW, PLANCK´S LAWetc..

ELECTROMAGNETISM: GAUSS´S, FARADAY´S, AMPERE´S, MAXWELL´S,OHM´S LAW,COULOMB´S, etc...

BIOLOGY: MENDEL´S INHERITANCE LAWS...

MATHEMATICS LAWS: PYTHAGORAS´,H. GROSSMAN´..

ASTRONOMY: 3 KEPLER´S LAWS, HUBBLE´S LAW...

PSYCHOLOGY: ABRAHAM MASLOW´S , PAULOV´S, J.M. KEYNES,etc.. 

THERMODYNAMICS LAWS,etc..
