The incorrect hypothesis may be discarded, or it can be modified until it is consistent with all the data that has been collected.
To support a hypothesis means you agree, and may even give supporting evidence.To refute it means you submit evidence that a hypothesis is incorrect , or you make a cogent and persuasive argument against it.
1 change the hypothesis to meet the facts 2. ignore the facts and loudly condemn anyone who disagrees with you
A hypothesis must be testable and able to be proved false because it is an educated guess based on other facts connected to the hypothesis. It must be testable so other scientists can agree with the hypothesis. It is not able to be provable because it is an educated guess.
I don't agree that every hypothesis MUST be tested. In order to advance to the status of a scientific theory, a hypothesis must be tested. Otherwise it remains a mere hypothesis. But some hypotheses are beyond our present capacity to test. Hypothesis: there are technologically advanced alien civilizations in our galaxy on planets other than the Earth. Method of testing: explore the galaxy in space ships. Except that we don't really have any interstellar space ships (it's hard enough just getting to the moon!) and the process of exploring the galaxy would be so expensive and so time-consuming that we really could not afford it in our present economic state.
