A hunch is unsubstantiated. Scientific theory is theory in which an idea or even a hunch has been thouroughly tested- thru a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and results based on the scientific method. It is supported by other experiments and generally accepted by professionals in the field
A hunch is a feeling not based on anything factual. To have a hunch means to have "a gut feeling" based on intuition or past experiences. Using a hunch, you make a guess about why something is happening, although the answer may not always be correct.A hypothesis could be based on a hunch but the scientist doing this would then TEST the hypothesis using the scientific method to prove or disprove its validity.
a theorem rather, it has to be proven to become an accepted theory.
In the general, every day sense of the word a theory is a supposition, a hunch or a speculation. It is unproven.A Scientific Theory is completely different from an every day theory. A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis that has been supported with repeated testing and with facts that can be observed and/or measured. With that support a hypothesis moves to the next step in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Facts are the framework for the scientific method and a Scientific Theory is supported by facts.
People tend to say that scientific theories are "just" a theory because of a confusion between the common usage of "theory" and the scientific definition. (In everyday speech people often use the word "theory" in the sense of a "hunch" or "vague idea". This is not what the word means in a scientific context). A scientific theory is deduced from observations and is the simplest way of describing natural phenomena. It is testable, observable, predictable, and falsifiable. Scientific theories are not the same thing as hypotheses, which are explanations that haven't been demonstrated or verified. A scientific theory has evidence to back it up. The common usage of 'theory' suggests an explanation that someone hasn't proven, or isn't able to prove. It doesn't imply evidence that has been tested; it doesn't imply predictability. When someone hears, for example, "Big Bang theory" or "the theory of evolution", they may hear the word 'theory' and associate those scientific theories with someone's opinion or suggestion. In reality, these theories are the best scientific explanations for a myriad of phenomena across multiple scientific definitions. In science, "just a theory" is a very good place to be.
