      Abstract:

      In scientific discipline, a hypothesis is a set of propositions set forth to explain the occurrence of certain phenomena. In daily language, a hypothesis can be interpreted as an assumption or guess. In this book, we employ both these definitions. Within the context of the first definition, we search for an explanation of why the problem occurs to begin with. Within the context of the second definition, we look for a plausible solution to the problem.
