What does a scientist do if hypothsis is not supported?
make a new hypothesis. if not the scientist continues believing in their hypothesis without any proof and becomes a mad scientist
What makes a scientific idea a law?
It is accepted by the scientific community as a law when it has been tested in sufficiently various ways by sufficiently many people and has not been disproved. Or, more simply, it's not AN observation that becomes a law, it's MANY observations. When an experiment can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time, and the same result is achieved this suggests that that is the only result attainable from the experiment. Strictly speaking this doesn't constitute a proof, just a failure to disprove, but if the theory continues to be not disproved then it is accepted.

What is a scientific idea that has survived many experiments and observations without being proven false?
The idea that space contained a substance call "aether" which carried light. Michelson and Morley developed a device to measure Earth's motion through it. I was a classic failure, and continues to be.
Why do many scientists ignore the fact that Darwin's theory is a theory and teach as if it was a scientific law?
The question as stated demonstrates the public's confusion over the use of the term "theory." To many people in the general public, the word "theory" means an unproven statement or an educated guess. Scientists would call this a "hypothesis." Theory, on the other hand, is what scientists pray for. It is a construct that is not guessed, but a formula that organizes existing, observable phenomena, has the ability to integrate new observed phenomena in a way that makes sense of it, and presents hypotheses that can be shown as either accurate or inaccurate over time. The "theory of gravity" is a good example. It is not called that because gravity is an unproven hypothesis, but because it creates a construct that fits the data generated by physics, mathematics, astronomy and other scientific disciplines. The theory of evolution is likewise not a guess or even a hypothesis. It is a construct that fits together and makes sense of data from a variety of inter-related fields in life sciences, including botany, zoology, medicine, genetic research, paleontology, and so forth. "Theory" is not the starting point, it is the highest order of scientific organization of data. Scientists do not lightly give the term theory to anything that does not organize massive amounts of data. The public use of the term has created huge confusion because it comes very close to being the exact opposite of what scientists mean. The definition of a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. A theory gives an explaination of said law. A theory will never become a law and a law was never a theory. Any scientific law has always been a law whether we knew it or not. Gravity was still there when we were "cavemen". The phenomenon of evolution was going on before there was a theory to explain it, and it continues to go on today. The reason that many scientists accept the theory of evolution as fact is because scientifically, massive evidence suggests that it is very true.

What is the word for a testable statement used for making predictions and carrying out further experiments?
A testable statement used for making predictions and carrying out further experiments is called a hypothesis. The hypothesis might change as the scientist continues to test his or her theory.

What are characteristic of research?
Phase 1- Observation and question- ConjecturesPhase 2- Hypothesis- Prediction- ExperimentationPhase 3- Peer reviewObservation, Question and ConjectureThe first phase represents the transit of the real and physical into the sphere of intellect.It is said that when Isaac Newton observed an apple falling, it led him to question what mechanism was at work. This in turn led him to consider various conjectures and to conduct an examination of the ideas of other researchers from across the world, both contemporaneous and past. From the numerous conjectures he was able to distil and select the most likely explanation for his observation.This is the way in which scientific advance proceeds. First an observation is made, then a careful consideration of what has been observed and the distillation of a plausible explanation.Hypothesis, Prediction and ExperimentationThe second phase represents the return from the sphere of intellect into the real and physical.The distillation of ideas results in a hypothesis, which in the case of Newton's gravitational theory was a mathematical model of objects falling under the influence of gravity.In order for a hypothesis to bear scrutiny, it must be able to accurately predict what will happen under a given set of circumstances. These predictions must then be checked by careful experimentation. When prediction and experiment reach the same conclusion, the hypothesis is borne out; when they do not the hypothesis must be revised to accommodate the findings of the experiment The process of experiment and refinement continues until the predictions concur with the experiment or it becomes clear that they do not. Once concurrence has been achieved, the researcher is ready to proceed to the final phase. Otherwise the hypothesis must be abandoned and the researcher may choose to return to phase 1.Peer ReviewThe final phase is the transit of the hypothesis into the broad circulation of scientific ideas.It begins with the publication of the observation, the hypothesis and the experimental methods and results. At this stage other experimenters will attempt to reproduce the findings. This process may equally result in the revision or abandonment of the hypothesis. If the bulk of the experimenters are in agreement on the hypothesis, it is accepted into scientific literature as a finding. After a certain period of time and repeated experimentation a hypothesis may be promoted to the status of a Law. If they are not in agreement the hypothesis may be abandoned.

Is it possible that there is no end OR beginning to space?
Because of the scientific theory of the Big Bang, the universe expanded in all direction still continues to expand faster than the speed of light
Why do scientists consider any hypothesis valuable?
Any idea about how an unknown phenomenon occurs, or a simpler explanation for a known one, is useful in figuring out what exactly makes it happen. If it works, it can be tested and refined to provide a better explanation; if not, it OS one further things we know doesn't work.
Briefly describe the inverted U hypothesis?
The inverted U hypothesis suggests that performance increases with arousal up to a certain point, then decreases as arousal continues to increase. This explains that there is an optimal level of arousal for performance, and too little or too much arousal can impair performance.
