Isn't it that it stops being hypothesis when the technology to measure it is invented. Anyway their using gas analyzers, mass spectrometers and scanning electron microscopes.

Well, yeah there's that, too
How different do you see theory and hypothesis ?
Ive observed theory getting radically altered while the hypothesis crystallizes

Personally, I think we're stumbling round in the dark. Decartes' X-Y-Z axes have blinded us to what's going on. Literally -- Dark Energy and Dark matter is proposed. Postulates devolve from Axioms, you need to get those right.
The public probably agrees on what a hypothesis is but disagree on what a theory is.
Vague enough?

Axioms and Postulates are from Euclid's Elements.
The anti-Descartes position is from Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics. Stack one cannonball on three others and you have our old friend, the tetrahedron. Start there and the whole of Universe unfolds.
My 'theory' is that scientific theory is accepted findings. That would be opinion.
