A scientific hypothesis is a proposed explanation of natural phenomena or a suggested outcome to a particular situation. They are part of the scientific method and they are tested in it.

The hypothesis is formed based on previous knowledge, logical thinking, and creative thinking that takes all that into account. Is NOT generated using gut feelings.
