Question

How long does it usually take a hypothesis to become a theory

Answer 1

Answer:

If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step (known as a theory) in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hypothesis is usually referred as an assumption or an observation made without much proof to support the statement. Hence scientists and experimental physicists uses hypothesis and perform experiments and observations to support the theory.

The hypothesis will get transformed into a theory only when there is enough evidence to support the cause and the science behind the set of events. It is dependent upon a number of scientific tests an hence it is not possible to define a time period. It may varies from years to forever (or never).
