An Hypothesis is a guess as to the relationship between two things.

A Theory is a provable relationship between two things. Example would include Pythagoras Theorem. A theorem will reliably predict a result and explain the connection.

Sometimes Theories are called Laws - such as Ohm's Law, Boyle's Law, Laws of refraction and so on.
