this is the final or proven hypothesis
A scientific hypothesis must be testable and falsifiable in order for it to be valid.
A hypothesis
The importance of a hypothesis is measured by its explanatory power. If you have a valid explanation for some previously mysterious or unknown phenomenon, and if your explanation can be experimentally verified, then that is important.
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. 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.
this is the final or proven hypothesis
An hypothesis is an assumption that is taken to be true or valid for the purposes of scientific debate or research .

When the evidence in a scientific experiment does not support the hypothesis the scientist:Confirm through repeated experimentation that the evidence is validReject the hypothesisDevelop another hypothesis that is consistent with the valid evidence
A scientific theory is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested and still seems to be valid. These theories are tested by using the scientific method.
The results of his experiments did not support his hypothesis.

"...Lemuria is no longer considered a valid scientific hypothesis..." See link, from which this quote is taken.
I have an hypothesis that light waves are made up of particles. This is a valid scientific inquiry yet it cannot be proved false, because under certain circumstances, light waves behave like particles.
