A "hypothesis" changes to a "theory" when empirical evidence backs it up.
Every experiment done over the last 90 years has supported general relativity; not one experiment has challenged it. Indeed, accurate GPS devices would not work unless the effects of general relativity were not factored into their clocks -- so, in effect, every GPS device in the world is an experiment that supports GR.
Contrary to what some people, with a CLEAR and UNDENIABLE motivation to confuse people on what a "theory" means, wrongly claim that a scientific "theory" is something unproven. That is simply not true, but these people will continue to repeat this lie.
Galileo Galile wrote "the Theory of Relativity", and Einstein wrote the General theory of relativity and the special theory of relativity.
It science.
A tentative explanation in research is called a hypothesis. The hypothesis is based on observation. The general explanation of the observation is called a theory. In other words, a theory is the result of testing a hypothesis.
any belief in science that is plausible and for the most part has some evidence, but we aren't sure of being 100% true, would be a theory. for example, the theory of relativity, darwin's theory of evolution, etc.
Some of them are 1) Big Bang Theory 2) Super string theory 3) General Relativity 4) Special Relativity 5) Quantum Theory
Galileo Galile wrote "the Theory of Relativity", and Einstein wrote the General theory of relativity and the special theory of relativity.

The theory that Einstein developed which pertains to gravity is called general relativity.
There's no such thing as an official theory. The classical theory of general relativity is the one that Einstein invented.
The theory of relativity was introduced by Albert Einstein in 1905 with his special theory of relativity, and later expanded with the general theory of relativity in 1915.
The theory of relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein, was first introduced in 1905. This theory consists of two parts: the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity. The special theory of relativity deals with the relationship between space and time, while the general theory of relativity extends this to include gravity.
The General theory of relativity primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity was published in 1915.
The theory of relativity. There are actually two - the special and the general.
Just a "theory" ... actually only a hypothesis at present.
Albert Einstein is the developer of the theory of relativity. His groundbreaking work consisted of two theories: the special theory of relativity, published in 1905, and the general theory of relativity, published in 1915.
The equation for general relativity was born in 1915 when Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity.
