What is the difference between scientific hypothesis and scientific theory?
An hypothesis is something which you make out of your careful observation which everyone will agree easily. But that will become a theory only when it is proved practically with experiments. I give an example , It is generally observed that whenever we have dark black clouds it is going to rain at some nearby place. It becomes a theory only when it is both explained scientifically and proved upon experiments by cloud seeding etc….I hope you get the point.
