Yes, of course, string theory (but hey, spring theory
sounds nice, what if the strings are actually tiny
springs?). If a hypothesis resembles a piece of
wood, a theory resembles a funriture consisting
of several pieces of wood that were put together.
A hypothesis can be falsified entirely, while
a theory such as the string theories or M-theory
can partly be falsified: it is already partly established,
as a fecund theory that introduced a plethora of new
mathematical tools, and as way of thinking real big,
which was adopted by the many alternatives, for
example loop theory.
The world is much more simple than we everGoethe's musings have no bearing on anything.

Sorry, but for me Goethe is more important than
your replies are.
That may be, but they're still irrelevant.
