They take a guess. Though it's a really good guess.
Then others run with it to try to prove or disprove it based on evidence.
I always find it funny that most things are still theory in the realm of science. You would think they would figure out most theories by now.
Remember Theory = Guess.
Take your theory with a grain of salt.

As far as String Theory is concerned, this is absolutely a highly speculative area of science. Within the scientific community, String Theory has numerous detractors--it is not at all comparable to the theories of evolution, gravity, or the like. This is one very famous example of the term "theory" being used loosely.
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.

I am only pointing out the severe error in a previous comment to the effect of "a theory is just a guess...take it with a grain of salt".

The fact is that a Theory is exactly that, it’s a theory, though some have more evidence and support behind them then others:
Basically the idea that we should accept anything that has "Theory" attached to it as though it is a fact is completely incorrect, many theories are yet to have any proof or testing to back them up in the slightest.

This was absolutely indicative of the kind of willful ignorance that the scientific community has been fighting.

Theories in science are ALWAYS susceptible to being disproven.

Theories in science are ALWAYS susceptible to being disproven. This is the very nature of science--you can never, never entirely "close the book" on a subject. The idea of science is that things are testable, that information is always coming in, and that one day something may very well appear to turn an official theory, an accepted fact of science, on its head. We may have mountains of evidence to support a theory as being true, but it would be unscientific to say "All right then, it's done. We've solved it. Don't touch it again." This doesn't mean that the idea is certifiably false or that we shouldn't believe it.

Lisa randall's book warped passages describes this subject in great detail.
"A MUST READ" for any1 interested in learing more on multiverse's and the connection between shifting universes. Great post S&F
