relation between a hypthesis and a theory?

a hypthesis is an educated guess and a theory is what you think might happen so they are both basically just a guess.

Imagine 2 triangles sitting in front of you.  Each has a side you would call the bottom, each has a left side and a right side.  Those are corresponding sides.  Correspondance is about pairing up the parts of things as a way of seeing how much alike they are.  You see someone walking toward you, they have 2 legs just like you, 2 arms just like you, so far they're your kind of people, corresponding parts match.  Then you see 2 heads.  Ooops, corresponding parts don't match, must be an alien.\n\nIn math, if certain pairs of corresponding parts match, then the figures are congruent.

homeostasis is the underlying theme of all of nature and IMPLIES interdependence.  Most current anatomy-physiology textbooks FINALLY list how each system affects all the other systems of the body.  We use Tortora and Dickerson and the last page of each chapter itemizes all this.  Very helpful to teach the interconnectedness of the systems, yes, but also all of life-the cosmos.  It's all connected and interdependent from micro sub-atomic particles to macro galaxies and cosmos.

huh? the Corstahn Theory

I can't help with Unified Theory, but here's the way a professor explained string theory to me.\n\nImagine that you have a tightrope, and that an elephant is walking on it.  To that elephant, there is only one dimension - the elephant can move forward, and it can move backwards, but it can only move along that straight line.\n\nNow picture that same tightrope, but instead of an elephant, an ant is walking along it.  Like the elephant, the ant can also move forwards and back along the tightrope.  However, the ant can also walk all the way around the tightrope (apparently ants are good at clinging to things while upside-down).  For the ant, there are two possible dimensions - the forward and back one, and the around one.\n\nString theory is basically the idea that there are more dimensions than we realize.  We as humans are the elephant of the previous example - we see only three dimensions, with a potential 4th in terms of time.  According to string theory, there are ants in the world that can access more than these three or four dimensions that we are aware of.  String theorists are currently trying to prove that this is the case.

Fantasy writer. \n\nEvolution is a theory made up by someone.

ONLY a theory? hehe! Then those people don't even understand the terminology they're using. Yes a theory is a proven hypothesis (versus disproven).  Only when someone can disprove it will it lose it's status.  So evolution is a theory. :)

One is thinking and one is doing?\nLook at the modules in the course and see if one has more theory or maths than the other.

ok. here is one "HYPOTHESIS OF SOUND"!\n\nLet me know if you want another one! I got plenty.\n\nlol

You don't understand the definition of a theory and a fact do you? I presume, judging from your words, you believe that a theory is essentially a conjecture, a guess, that sort of thing? Well, you thought wrong.\n\nScientific definitions and mathematical definitions are far different and more precise than everyday language. For us, a salt is that white stuff that preserves foods and gives the food, obviously enough, that "salty" taste. In chemistry, a salt is any ionic compound formed by anions and cations so that the net charge of the compound is neutral. \n\nIn that same manner, a theory is not just a "guess." Theories and facts are not rungs on a ladder of credibility - they complement each other. Theories are really models for explaining a series of natural phenomena, backed by strong evidence. Theories explain facts. Again, they are not "guesses."\n\nAnd, in that manner, evolution is both a theory AND a fact. There is the theory of evolution, which explains it, and there is the fact of evolution. This is similar to the theory of gravity; how the theory explains the fact that gravity exist, and the reason why apples fall down and hit us on the head. \n\nThere is plenty of evidence to support evolution and it is a strongly-backed theory. Also, all theories are incomplete and subject to revision. That applies to all theories - not just evolution. The atomic theory expanded over the last century as the Bohr model evolved into the current electron-cloud model. \n\nAlso, another misconception to clear up - there is nothing proven in science; there is just evidence to support it.\n\nAlso, people who criticize evolution often forget that it doesn't deal with the origin of life, it is NOT random, that the concept of uniformitarianism in science make evolution valid, etc.\n\nI suggest you read a little.

outside of the "reptilian" notion his theories have merit, both logical and historical. for more fun theories check out the linx below:

A postulate is something that is so obvious it is accepted as true without proof. For example, A straight line , and only one straight line can be drawn between two points is a postulate that is accepted as true without proof.\n\nA Theorem is a hypothesis or statement that is to be proven or disproved. It is never accepted as true without rigorous proof.\n\nThe Hinge theorem is called that because one of the sides of a triangle can swing like a hinge into two different positions that could solve a triangle problem.

I teach it like this:\nPOHEC\nP is for identify problem\nO is for make observations\nH is for form hypothesis\nE is for conduct experiment\nC is for make conclusions\n\nThe scientific method is a way to solve problems by making educated guesses (hypotheses-based on observations you made) and testing them through experiments by incorporating variables (those that you keep constant-controls; those that you manipulate-independent; and those that "depend" on the "independent" variable-dependent). Sometimes you prove your hypothesis; other times you don't. You usually have to repeat this several times. Maybe, if you're lucky, it'll become a theory, and if you're really lucky, fact :)

what three theories..list them please.

A hypothesis is an educated guess.  If you have a lot of supporting evidence but not complete and total (100%) evidence, you might say theory (although that might not be good, because no one seems to know what it means).

I think you might have a paper-worthy idea here. Not sure, like the first poster, of the amount of support you'll find to back your theory up, but I do find the comparison appealing, and I've never thought of that before!\n\nHope you can draw the similarities without too much painful, fruitless research! Good luck!
