"It is an hypothesis that objects fall towards the ground, so if you jump off a high cliff this means that we do not know whether you will fall towards the ground or not." Does that make it any clearer, or are you still clueless?? The above example restricts the physics to basically one well documented item: Gravity. The Sun rising tomorrow has a bit more physics besides gravity, but it is still just physics, and well understood physics, so it is well past you anemic definitions (unless of course as previously noted, you are clueless of the subject matter, which prior interactions with you have demonstrated to at least met the level of a very strong hypothesis) 1 a: an assumption or concession made for the sake of argument b: an interpretation of a practical situation or condition taken as the ground for action 2: a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences 3: the antecedent clause of a conditional statement"
