What is a Theory? (Draft)

Important points:
Theory, to normal people, is a basic thought or idea, but to scientist, theory is a broad answer to a question that can be tested. Although a hypothesis differs from a theory, both of them are parts of the scientific method. Theories are also made after many hypothesis are tested using a scientific method. Another thing about theories is that is can never be a hundred percent proven because it can always be tested again.

Reaction:
For me, this article wasn’t really an appealing subject to read. I grew bored of it just by looking at the title. But I grew interested on how theories are rarely made into laws. It shocked me that huge scientific stuff like evolution was only a theory. I was also interested on how hypothesizes are sometimes made into theories, and I wondered exact how many hypothesizes it would to take to become a theory. There was also a part where a scientist complained about how sometimes people make fun of theories, and I totally agree with them. I think their effort is worth the respect.
