+ | A theory provides an explanatory framework for some observation . | A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon . | ||
+ | Conventionally , a theory was defined as that an arbitrary conjecture (that is, a statement of fact that you think might be true) starts off as a hypothesis, before you've tested it, and becomes a theory, once it's validated. | A hypothesis is something which has a scientific method available to be tested by . | ||
+ | In practice , theory tends to refer to some well-developed way of thinking about a problem . | A hypothesis refers to a provisional idea whose merit requires evaluation . | ||
+ | A theory is a model/mechanism that corresponds to the available evidence and as such should predict the outcome of an experiment accurately. | In simple , a hypothesis is a guess which could be tested upon by scientific methods for finding out its accuracy or falseness . | ||
