No, an hypothesis is a tentative conjecture explaining an observation, phenomenon or scientific problem that can be tested by further observation, investigation and/or experimentation. As a scientific term of art, see the attached quotation. Compare to theory, and quotation given there.
No a hypothesis must be tested, proven to be true
No. A hypothesis is a best guess based on available information and observation.
A hypothesis is not a fact. It is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon based on observation and reasoning. It is also not a prediction, but rather a testable statement that can be supported or refuted through experimentation and data analysis.
Gravity is an established scientific fact, not just a theory. It is a fundamental force that governs the interactions of objects in the universe, as confirmed by numerous experiments and observations.

the capability to show up associations between otherwise apparently disconnected scientific facts (1 the moon goes round the earth, 2 the earth goes round the sun, 3 If you let something go, it will drop), and show up things that we didn't know, but might be useful (if you jump off the Empire State Building you are likely to kill yourself).
A scientific law is not a law in the sense that it must be obeyed. It is a law by virtue of the fact that no one has yet found an instance where the law does not hold. A scientific law, despite its apparent immutability, is still only a theory and can never be proven since, as Karl Popper demonstrated, one can make observe a thousand swans and then make a law saying that all swans are white, but the first example of a black swan will invalidate that law.Gravity follows this example in that no one has yet found an instance where the universal law of gravitation has not held true, but that does not mean that in some distant corner of the universe or some billion years in the past or future the law of gravitation must hold true.
scientific fact or scientific law
a hypothesis is a scientific word for prediction. An opinion is something someone says that is not a fact.
Any subject that does not have a solid factual foundation that has highly researched and speculated theories are called hypothesis'.
A hypothesis just needs a little proof in order to become an accepted fact. That's a fine hypothesis, Smedley!
A scientific law is a proven, verifiable fact or formula that doesn't change. that are considered universal and invariable facts of the physical worldFor example Newton's law of relativity and Newton's law of gravity.Laws of science may, however, be disproved if new facts or evidence contradicts them.iA hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observable phenomenonFor a hypothesis to be put forward as a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous obserations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories.
A scientific hypothesis is not accepted if there is no way to demonstrate the hypothesis wrong. In fact, if there is no way to demonstrate the hypothesis wrong, then it is unfalsifiable and unscientific. For example, if I hypothesize that an all-powerful being created the Universe, there is no way to demonstrate that this hypothesis is wrong. One might argue that none of the natural laws of science require the intervention of an all-powerful being, but then I would simply argue that is because the being designed things that way. Because I can come up with any unfalsifiable explanation for any objection not only is there no way to demonstrate that my hypothesis is wrong, there is also no scientific reason or evidence to believe it is right.
A scientific theory is an experiment that still needs to be tested, but is believed to be true. A hypothesis is a fact and data based guess as to what the result(s) of an experiment will be. A scientific law is proven to be true and states that the results of the experiment will always be the same, and needs no further testing. An example of a scientific theory is the cell theory, which states that all living things are composed of at least one cell and that cells come from other cells.
well, a theory is a general idea about something,so i do not think so.*A theory is a hypothesis well accepted by the scientific community. So I wouldn't think it was a fact considering a hypothesis is an educated guess.
Because a conclusion indicates that it is no longer a theory, but a proven fact. A theory is an unproven hypothesis.
yes scientists consider hypothesis to be a fact
A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.
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.
