The word theory is totally misused in the media and by most non-scientists.
A THEORY is an explanation based on evidence or experiment, it can be tested experimentally.
An HYPOTHESIS is a proposed explanation that has not yet been "proved" or tested.
Most people that say "theory" actually mean "hypothesis".
