A hypothesis consists either of a suggested explanation for an observable phenomenon or of a reasoned proposal predicting a possible causal correlation among multiple phenomena. The scientific method requires that one can test a scientific hypothesis. A hypothesis is never to be stated as a question, but always as a statement with an explanation following it.
[Bertini and Lalanne, 2009]
