Question

The definition of theory says that a it is a hypothesis or group of hypotheses. In your own words, explain why a theory is also a hypothesis, using the definitions as a starting point. In your answer, provide an example of a theory that is a hypothesis supported by repeated experimentation.

Answer 1

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of any natural phenomenon. The theory is proposed on the basis of the performed experiments and careful examination of the facts derived from the previous experiments.

The theory is an elaborate form of a hypothesis as a hypothesis is the limited explanation of any natural phenomenon but the theory is a detailed and deep explanation of the phenomenon.

The theory of relativity was proposed by the Albert Einstein in 1905 which was supported by the repeated experiments by the researcher and scientists in 1919 when a solar eclipse was observed.

Answer 2

In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is made before any applicable analysis has been done. A theory, on the opposite hand, is supported by evidence: it is a principle shaped as an effort to clarify things that have already been supported by knowledge.

For example: “It's bright outside.”
Hypothesis: A projected clarification for a development created as a place to begin for additional investigation.

Theory: A well-substantiated rationalization nonheritable through the methodology and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation
