Research is an investigative process undertaken to acquire knowledge and apply this knowledge for the human welfare. The hypotheticodeductive method forms the essential criteria of science. It includes six steps. They are observation, question, hypothesis, empirical test, conclusions and publications.
The hypothesis is the starting point for a scientific research. Based on previous observations, the scientists makes a statement. They, further, test and verify the statement by conducting an experiment. A working hypothesis allows further research on the topic. Hence, an idea that has not yet tested is called a hypothesis.
A theory is an introspective thought and logic. It is a confirmed and meant to explain a concept in a most comprehensive way. The tested and accepted explanations are theories. Theories are based on specific hypothesis. A hypothesis is replaced by a theory after the confirmation of the idea.
