It was Alfred Wegener but other scientists did not believe him but he found evidence
That is progress, you start with a hypothesis, e.g. the moon is made of cheese, then it is tested by experiments to see if it's right. If the experiment says it's wrong, that is something that does not have to be tested again.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD is a process and principles that guides scientific investigations. It is defined as the making of careful observation and experiments and latter using the data obtained to formulate general principles. The scientific method begins with recognizing problem. Usually curiosity helps us recognize problem. Second, the scientists gathers and organize the data regarding the problem. In this way, instead of discovering things already discovered, the scientists utilizes the work of preceding scientists. This is how science progresses. Third, the scientists attempts to explain the phenomenon in a working hypothesis. The hypothesis is made even before an experiment is made. Fourth, he plans experiment to test the validity of the hypothesis. If the experiment supports the hypothesis, the scientists then can formulate a more definite theory to explain the observe facts.
A hypothesis is a good acurate guess based on the facts and evidence, while a theory is just a wild guess. But a hypothesis and theory's are both made by scientists with more knowledge than a regular, ordinary person.

Copernicus.
A hypothesis is formed after observations are made and a question is formed. Scientific Method: 1. Make an observation. 2. Ask a question. 3. Make a hypothesis. 4. Conduct an experiment. 5. Draw conclusions. 6. Share your results. 7. Do other experiments done by others agree? 8. Yes or no? 9. if no, do again.
Nicholaus Copernicus was one of the first to challenge the theory that the earth was the center of the universe. He made up the Heliocentric theory.

The word "hypothesis" has this as one of its definitions.
In most cases, scientists are testing a hypothesis to find out if it is true. After they have concluded their research and made certain they have enough information to determine a reliable result, they will usually write up their findings and publish the results in a journal, so that other scientists can learn from the research, and perhaps expand upon it in future scientific investigations.
