A conjecture is a statement believed to be true but without conclusive evidence. It differs from a hypothesis in that a conjecture has evidence to tentatively support it, and it differs from a theory because a conjecture is not an explanation of facts that has been sufficiently tested. A conjecture is more contestable than a theory but more solid than a hypothesis.
