What is the best explanation of our observed regularities, such as all observed ravens are black? In this paper, two potential competing explanations on laws of nature are discussed: the timeless necessity of David Armstrong and a new brand of necessity – Helen Beebee’s time-limited necessity. It will be defended, against Beebee, that the timeless necessity explanation constitutes a better explanation of our observed regularities than does the time-limited necessity explanation.
