Dalil Murphy ( Murphy’s Law ) memang tidak serupa dengan dalil Archimedes atau dalil Pithagoras. Dia tidak membutuhkan pembuktian empiris untuk mendukungnya. Namun akurasinya tak perlu diragukan lagi. Dan kalau rumus dalil-dalil ilmu fisika atau mekanika itu bisa membuat kening kita berkerut, maka dalil yang satu ini justru membuat kita tertawa bahkan kadangkala menertawakan diri kita sendiri.
Konon Dalil Murphy ini dipopulerkan pada tahun 1949 oleh seorang perwira Angkatan Udara AS bernama Kapten Edward Murphy yang ditugasi untuk melakukan penelitian akan kemampuan manusia menahan deselerasi mendadak misalnya pada saat tabrakan. Maka lahirlah ungkapannya yang terkenal If anything can go wrong, it will. (terjemahan bebasnya : Kalau sesuatu bisa jadi berantakan, dia pasti akan berantakan)
