A theory is an explanation.
- In layman’s terms, if something is said to be “just a theory,” it usually means that it is a mere guess, or is unproved. It might even lack credibility. But in scientific terms, a theory implies that something has been proven and is generally accepted as being true. [1]
The term "theory" is often used outside of the realm of physical science, such as in music theory, number theory, or Marxist theory.
