|Formulation File=The First Law Barseghyan 2015.png|Description=The following passage from [[Barseghyan (2015)|''The Laws of Scientific Change'']] summarizes the gist of the law: <blockquote>According to the first law, any element of the mosaic of accepted theories and employed methods remains in the mosaic except insofar as it is overthrown by another element or elements. Basically, the law assumes that there is certain inertia in the scientific mosaic: once in the mosaic, elements remain in the mosaic until they get replaced by other elements. It is reasonable therefore to call it the law of scientific inertia. </blockquote> ===The First Law for Theories===
