∙ 8y agoA hypothesis needs to be testable because if you do not test your hypothesis, how do you know your theory/thoughts is correct or bogus? If you have a hypothesis that you can't test, then how do you prove that your hypothesis will work or not, there wouldn't be a need for a hypothesis if you don't do anything but just say it with out proof or credit.

∙ 9y agoA hypothesis is tested to verify its validity or not. The more it gives consistent answers by repeated experiments, observations or both, the more valid it is. If it survives the test of repeatability it becomes a theory, and if established as immutable, a law.

∙ 8y agoA scientific theory or hypothesis must be able to make predictions that can be tested. It must be possible to design an experiment so that there is one outcome if the hypothesis is true and a different outcome if it is false. This is what is meant by saying that a hypothesis is testable or falsifiable. If such as experiment is carried out and the outcome is not as predicted then the hypothesis must be rejected and replaced by an alternative hypothesis - or a modified version.
