Depending on the theory, opens the option for it to be tested. Such as, If i have a theory on a new and improved type of Gasoline and I would like to test it's MPG on a highway in an automobile, it's quite possible for me to do that. But for things such at Steven Hawking's theory of a black hole, it is near impossible to prove if one actually exists.

The ability to test a theory, truly rests on the matter of how plausible it is.

Why don't all hypothesis become theories?

A scientific theory is something that is tried and tested, and not yet disproven. It is close to being scientific 'fact' as you can get. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they get disproven. That means the hypothesis will need to be changed and tested again.

What is a hypothesis that has been tested over and over again?

What are the characteristics of scientific theories?

Can theories be disproven?

Yes, theories can be disproven through empirical evidence that contradicts their predictions or explanations. This process is a fundamental aspect of the scientific method, where theories are constantly tested and refined based on new data and observations.
