A hypothesis is not exactly the same thing as a theory. A hypothesis just means an idea. In terms of science, it is a possible explanation for something, that someone thinks up, but which has not yet been tested. If it is tested and it works out, then it becomes a theory. If it doesn't work out it is just a failed hypothesis.
above is wrong.
Hypothesis is not an idea! it is a specific research statement which can be supported or refuted, a statement specifically designed BASED on a theory. Usually includes some kind of measurable reference, such as
Hypothesis: The total number of people participating in social networking in 2010 has grown since the inception of Facebook in 2004 (or whenever it was).
Note, this can be supported by research by using data from each of these two dates mentioned.
A theory is vague : 'Social networking is increasing.''

What will a hypothesis become if its is supported by repeated experimentation?
A scientific theory
Why is cell theory a theory and not a hypothesis?
Cell theory is a theory given by R. Virchow in 1855 .It is a theory not a hypothesis because it has been proved thus it can not be considered hypothetical , that's why is not called hypothesis.
What does a hypothesis become after it is tested and proven?
A hypothesis, or group of hypotheses, that is accepted as consistently valid is a theory. Either a hypothesis or a theory can be ultimately disproven. One definition of a theory is an accepted hypothesis.
How is a hypothesis and a theory alike?
Both a hypothesis and a theory offer an explanation of some observed phenomenon. The difference is that a hypothesis must have confirmation to become a theory.
. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if?
A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if the hypothesis is tested extensively and competing hypotheses are eliminated.
Is a hypothesis the explanation to a theory?
A hypothesis is the first step to elaborate a theory; it is not a true explanation.
Are a theory and a hypothesis the same?
No. This can be a bit subtle, though, because a statement can start as a hypothesis and wind up becoming a theory. Essentially, a theory is a hypothesis that has evidence on its side.
How is a theory and a hypothesis similar?
Yes and no- they are both ideas. However, a theory has been tested, a hypothesis has not.
Can a controlled hypothesis be called a theory?
No. Much more has to be done to prove any hypothesis a theory.
Do science students produce a theory or a hypothesis?
They produce a hypothesis. A theory requires extensive support.
After a hypothesis what do scienrist do?
the scientist proposed a theory after hypothesis.
