The efficient market hypothesis is a theory that asserts financial Markets are Efficient. Over the years three forms of efficiency have been proposed. If you are classically trained in economics or finance you will have had this theory rammed down your throat. If however you are in the industry you will probably think the EMH is a pile of garbage. As this quote suggests:

"I'd be a bum on the street with a tin cup if markets were efficient"

-Warren Buffett
