So which one of these words can be used as a substitute for theory in the theory of evolution? so we have fact, hypothesis, idea, and alternative explanation.
00:13
So fact is an option.
00:15
We're just going to put that off to the side for now.
00:17
Next one's hypothesis.
00:19
And hypothesis is different from a theory.
00:23
Hypotheses are questions that people test.
00:31
Usually there can be just like a small singular hypothesis about a narrow field of study.
00:42
For instance i hypothesize that bumblebees like clonof flowers more than they do petunias.
00:52
That's a fairly small hypothesis versus big hypotheses like the red queen hypothesis that discusses evolution between predators and prey and parasites and their prey.
01:07
So a hypothesis, these are ideas that we can test, but usually they're not one overarching idea.
01:16
They're not something that has tons and tons of evidence...
