Cushingâs syndrome is the name of a disorder that occurs when the body is exposed to an excess of steroids such as the hormone cortisol or similar synthetic versions. The body produces too much cortisol hormone by itself (known as âendogenousâ Cushingâs syndrome).
A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it.
The terms hypothesis, theory, and law are used in a very loose fashion across the sciences and mathematics. I would be very wary of cross discipline comparisons, or even across time in the same discipline.
