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".
