Legal Definitions - conjecture

A conjecture is a guess or supposition made without sufficient evidence or proof.

• It is just a conjecture that aliens exist.
• Without any evidence, it is only a conjecture that the missing person was kidnapped.
• Some scientists have made a conjecture that time travel may be possible in the future.

These examples illustrate how a conjecture is a guess or supposition made without sufficient evidence or proof. In each example, there is no concrete evidence to support the claim being made, and it is based solely on speculation or guesswork.
