A theory is an explanation for a scientific phenomenon. It answers WHY and HOW type questions about the natural world. A theory is based on extensive testing and experimentation and is taken as truth. Sometimes, however, a theory must be revised. This happens when new knowledge or new technology expands and corrects our understanding.
A theory is only a guess and can be revised by anyone.
