Hypothesis
A prediction that has to be testable is one that can be proven true or false through empirical observation or experimentation. It should be specific, measurable, and capable of being verified or refuted using evidence or data.
By using it to make a prediction. (The most famous was the (relativity) prediction that gravity would bend light.)
A testable prediction in the scientific method is called a hypothesis. This is a proposed explanation or educated guess about an observed phenomenon that can be tested through experiments or observations.
Both a theory and a hypothesis are proposed explanations for a phenomenon in science. However, a hypothesis is a specific, testable prediction made before conducting an experiment, while a theory is a well-substantiated explanation supported by a large body of evidence.
Hypothesis: testable prediction made before an experiment Theory: an explanation that accounts for and is supported by all the evidence we have on a topic Law: a rule of nature, often mathematical, that fits all observations and data
No, a theory is not a prediction. A theory is a well-supported explanation for a phenomenon based on evidence and research, while a prediction is a statement about what might happen in the future based on the theory.
