Comment on Lord of the SCIENCE
A hypothesis is a theory, one that is being tested.
A theory in the scientific world/literature/common understanding is significantly stronger than a hypothesis.
That is one use of the word, sure. But it can be interchangeable with hypothesis. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/theory
But the roots of words aren’t what words mean in modern English. Otherwise, spirit would mean ‘breath’
