Which is more helpful proving a hypothesis wrong or supporting a hypothesis?
To do it right
What does it mean to say that if a hypothesis is scientific then there must be a means of proving it wrong?
This concept is known as falsifiability, a key principle in the philosophy of science proposed by Karl Popper. A hypothesis is considered scientific if it can be tested and potentially disproven through empirical evidence. This criterion helps distinguish scientific theories from those that are untestable or unfalsifiable.

Your grammar.......
Which is more helpful- proving a hypothesis wrong or supporting a hypothesis?
it depend if the hypothesis is good or wrong. depends if the hypothesis is correct. An hypothesis is, in simple terms, a "guess" based on observed data. For this reason, the data to support any hypothesis can be manipulated to prove it either "right" or "wrong". Neither is more helpful. All scientific endeavour should be tested and retested.
Is a scientific hypothesis a accepted if there is no way to demonstrate that the hypothesis is wrong?
If you develop an experiment that truly demonstrates that the hypothesis is wrong*, then the hypothesis will lose its acceptance in the scientific community.* Such an experiment would have to be repeatable by other scientists AND accepted by interested scientists as a proof that the hypothesis is wrong.
Which is more helpful proving a hypothises wrong or supporting a hypothisis?
Proving a hypothesis wrong is more helpful because then you know what is incorrect for next time or someone else.
What is more helpful proving a hypothesis wrong or supporting a hypothesis why?
Proving a hypothesis wrong is often more helpful because it allows researchers to refine their understanding of a phenomenon, leading to stronger, more accurate theories. This process, known as falsification, helps eliminate incorrect ideas and guides further investigation. Supporting a hypothesis can provide evidence for a concept, but it may also lead to confirmation bias, where researchers overlook contradictory evidence. Ultimately, challenging existing hypotheses drives scientific progress and innovation.
How does the scientific method work if your hypothesis is wrong?
You make a new hypothesis and then start over from the research.
What does disprove mean?
Although disproving might be seen to be "not proving" it actually "means proving to be false"
Is a scientific hypothesis accepted if there is no way to demonstrate the hypothesis wrong?
A scientific hypothesis is not accepted if there is no way to demonstrate the hypothesis wrong. In fact, if there is no way to demonstrate the hypothesis wrong, then it is unfalsifiable and unscientific. For example, if I hypothesize that an all-powerful being created the Universe, there is no way to demonstrate that this hypothesis is wrong. One might argue that none of the natural laws of science require the intervention of an all-powerful being, but then I would simply argue that is because the being designed things that way. Because I can come up with any unfalsifiable explanation for any objection not only is there no way to demonstrate that my hypothesis is wrong, there is also no scientific reason or evidence to believe it is right.
Is a scientific hypothesis accepted if there is no way to demonstrate that it is wrong?
It is accepted if the data support it.
Is a scientific hypothesis accepted if there is no way way to prove that the hypothesis is wrong?
No. Not being able to prove something is NOT the same as it being true.
