Well it has to relate to hypothesis or theory. It would be conjecture. 
conjecture:  1.
the formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof.
2.
an opinion or theory so formed or expressed; guess; speculation.
3.
Obsolete. the interpretation of signs or omen
