A claim or idea typically becomes a theory **after a lot of empirical evidence supporting the idea has been found**.
In scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence and can make predictions about future observations. The process often involves multiple observations, experiments, and peer review, allowing it to be critically evaluated and validated over time.
