Scientific hypothesis is a scientific theory.<\/p>\n<p>A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the natural world leading to deductions that can be tested. If the deductions are verified, the hypothesis is provisionally corroborated. If the deductions are incorrect, the original hypothesis is proved false and must be abandoned or modified. Hypotheses can be used to build more complex inferences and explanations.<\/p>\n<p>A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not &#8220;guesses&#8221; but reliable accounts of the real world. The theory of biological evolution is more than &#8220;just a theory.&#8221; It is as factual an explanation of the universe as the atomic theory of matter or the germ theory of disease. Our understanding of gravity is still a work in progress. But the phenomenon of gravity, like evolution, is an accepted fact.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, a hypothesis is a tentative statement about the natural world, while a scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world. A hypothesis can be used to build a scientific theory, but a scientific theory is not the same as a hypothesis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;A hypothesis is made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigations&#8221;
