Only some hypothesizes have been proven not to be true. The reason that is that a hypothesis is the same thing as a prediction. Just as you could predict that, for example, the weather was going to be cloudy today, but it turned out sunny, a scientist could predict, or hypothesize, that in a certain experiment, for example, there would be a chemical reaction, but there wasn't.

A theory is a hypothesis that has been proven true?

No. It can never be "proven" true. It's always open to question, and to any demonstration of its failure.But after time goes by, and no evidence has been presented to demonstrate that the hypothesis fails, and the hypothesis has made predictions that were confirmed by experiments designed to test them, then the hypothesis may be elevated to the status of a theory. But it's still waiting to be debunked.Interesting that a theory can be dis-proven in a day, but can't be proven in a thousand years. That's Science.
