If a hypothesis is proven wrong why is it still important?
Generally, creating a hypothesis is a no-win situation. The hypothesis you devise must be provable false. Your data will either prove your hypothesis false or it will fail to prove the hypothesis false. You can never prove a proper hypothesis true. Science does not prove truth, it simply discards the false.
What are requirments for creating a proper hypothesis?
A proper hypothesis is one that has at least a superficially reasonable quality to it, it has some plausibility as an explanation for whatever it is that you are trying to explain. If it is obviously ridiculous, then it does not qualify as a proper hypothesis. In addition, from a scientific viewpoint a hypothesis should be testable in some way. If there is no way to test your hypothesis then what you are doing is philosophy, not science.
Is it true or false that a scientific theory can never be disproven?
Scientific theories can be disproved. This is a key part of the scientific method, creating hypothesis that can be disproved if they are incorrect. However, you can never really prove a hypothesis - you can find evidence that either fits or doesn't fit. If it doesn't fit the hypothesis needs to be revised or thrown out. If the evidence supports the hypothesis, there may be something that you are missing which may reject the hypothesis.
