This page's subject is off to a good start, then entirely slaughtered due to misinterpreting the definitions of hypothesis and theory. Hypothesis and theory are entirely different levels. For example, I currently have a hypothesis about a prescription I am currently taking because I did not experience the side-effect when I didn't take it, but I have every time that I have taken it. That's my hypothesis. Isaac Newton on the other hand discovered what led to the theory of gravity. Gravity is a true theory.
The issue is that society has misinterpreted the true definition of theory. Every science professor I have ever had clarifies such. It drives them crazy.
I will never forget what my last biology professor said about such. (Note: I'm paraphrasing) "You know how the detective on CSI enters the crime scene and says 'This is my theory'? That is not a theory! That is a simple hypothesis!"
