Hi Everyone!
This is Soumya.
Astrophysics enthusiast, avid reader, et cetera.Hidden talents - uh, they're hidden.
As you probably know, also I'm a contributor to this blog.
Well, let me jump right into it.
Something that really bothers me is the amount of people who use inappropriate scientific terms. Let me clear something up.
Hypothesis - A claim made from observations alone, that needs to be tested.
Theory - A set of laws that have been experimentally and mathematically proven and hence assumed true.
Law - A prediction given by a theory. Every theory must have lots of them.
Example - Einstein's hypothesis was that a person in a free fall would feel weightless after some time. His theories of relativity have been experimentally and mathematically proven. They predicted gravitational waves which have now been observed.
So, there you have it.
