What is the difference between hypotheses and theories in science?
Theories are proven true; whereas hypotheses are often falsified. Theories are hypotheses that have been proven to be true anywhere in the universe. Hypotheses are relatively narrow in their scope; whereas theories have broad explanatory power. A theory is a hypothesis that has been supported by at least 10 different experiments. |
