A belief is a strongly held opinion that is not proven to be true. A hypothesis is an opinion as to the facts. People often use the word 'theory' when they really mean 'hypothesis'. A scientific theory is more rigorous than a hypothesis. As far as is known, based on strong evidence, a scientific theory is fact, or truth.
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.
No. It is at the very least a theory, and may be a law.
A hypothesis is a tentative theory which is unverified, but if true could explain selected facts or observations. A hypothesis expresses an opinion which isn't necessarily based on provable evidence. A theory is a little more solid than a hypothesis, so a hypothesis when tested and proved to have some basis might become a theory. A theory might also refer to a belief with little or no fact behind it at all: he has a theory that the month in which people are born affects their personalities.
What is the similarities of theory and hypothesis
A theory. Its the Atom Theory. The old theory used to be that an atom was just like a billiard ball.
A scientific theory
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.
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.
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.
The difference between a hypothesis and a conjecture is that a hypothesis is something investigated or accepted as highly probable in the light established facts and a conjecture is the formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof.
A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if the hypothesis is tested extensively and competing hypotheses are eliminated.
