Modern science is a continuous endeavour to understand the structure of the universe — including forms of natural life — and how it works. To aver that karma is a Law, like the Law of Gravity, is to try to interpret a philosophical concept with the experimental tools of modern science.
Hindus believe that karma is a force generated by an individual’s actions having consequences. Karma may be also viewed as an experiential model, which explains the imponderables of birth, the joys and travails of life and the circumstances of death, which we observe and experience, in relation to actions, events and happenings around us, whether or not we are personally involved in them.
