Fun fact: Interstellar's black hole is actually an accurate simulation and the scientist, Kip Thorne, behind the conception of the film helped found LIGO who made this discovery!

What an outstanding job! The graphics and explanation was just right for a good understanding.

I'm not sure about the theory of Relativity being "confirmed" though. It's just still a theory not a law, overall.

No, no, no.

No.

There is no such thing as a "Law" of science - while several Theories are known as Laws for historical reasons, they all have the same standing as any Theory - all measurable evidence supports it, and they cannot be simplified any further (string theory remains a hypothesis, because there is no measurable evidence that supports it that does not also support the Standard Model of Quantum Chromodynamics).

Hypothesis is the scientific term for anything that is just a "We think that..." that can't be directly and exclusively, supported by evidence.

Having done a way too many years in chemistry I can assure you "laws" definitely exist in science. The term law is used to explain fundamental characteristics that a system can exist or is forbidden from existing in eg "the 4 laws of thermodynamics"... Basically chemistry loves laws, physics and biology love theories, welcome to science :)
