What else can I help you with?
Under what conditions might a hypothesis be accepted?
An hypothesis is an untested theory or conjecture, so when a hypothesis is tested and passes the test it becomes a proven theory, or possibly a law or reason or explanation. Until then it is an as-yet-unproven possibility or probability. Just make certain that the facts are not twisted to 'prove' the hypothesis, and the results are confirmed by other experiments and experimenters. It is even better if it becomes accepted by those who didn't agree with the idea in the first place, but that is not always possible! -- However, a theory is not born from one tested hypothesis, but many. A theory is the result of multiple hypotheses that are said to be true through multiple experiments. Also, a theory may never be actually proven, but merely accepted as the most reasonable explanation. Since science is constantly changing, theories are constantly being formulated to explain things about ourselves or our surroundings.
If experiments support a hypothesis why is the hypothesis still not considered?
A better explanation might exist.
Are hypothesis ever incorrect in an experimentation?
Yes. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation of some observable event. An experiment is designed to test if the hypothesis is possibly correct. Broadly speaking, there are three possible results of an experiment.The results are inconclusive (for example, the experiment was not designed well or some unplanned event occurred).The hypothesis is disproved (the experiment showed that the hypothesis was not a good explanation).The hypothesis is shown to be possible (a hypothesis can never be proven correct because the results could be caused by some factor not considered in the experiment).
How long does it take for a hypothesis to become a theory?
After observational evidence is published to support a hypothesis, particularly one that challenges conventional wisdom, scientists begin to analyze the evidence to see if there is some error. This analysis can take weeks to months; if other scientists try to replicate the experiment, it can take a few years. If the initial observations -- and the conclusions that can be drawn from them -- are shown to be correct, scientists (sometimes grudgingly) cease to refer to the original idea as a hypothesis and start to call it a theory.
How does scientific theory differ from a guess or opinion?
A hypothesis is an eduacted guess, and a guess has no previous knowledge about it.A hypothesis is usually part of a scientific experiment which involves a method for testing the hypothesis, and either supporting it, or supporting the opposite, the null hypothesis.

Is evolution science or hypothesis?
Evolution is both: it began as a hypothesis by a scientist who, after some research and thought on the matter, came up with the idea. Since then, that hypothesis has been recognised as a theory, as further evidence came to light supporting the idea and predictions - which were developed based on existing evidence and what the some of the gaps might be - were made, then tested and shown correct.
If experiments support a hypothesis why is the hypothesis still not considered?
A better explanation might exist.
Big bang theory season 4 episode 10?
This Episode is called The Alien Parasite Hypothesis. It was shown on december 9 2010
Could an electron in theory pass through a wall?
It's no theory -- it happens. In classical mechanics, an electron of (let's say) 9 eV of energy could not possibly get past a potential difference wall of 10 volts. In quantum mechanics, there is a non-zero probability of it happening. It depends on the thickness of the voltage barrier. And experiments have long since shown the theory is correct.
What is the principle of falsfifiability?
The principle of falsifiability states that any theory or hypothesis being tested must be stated in a way that allows the possibility for disproving, rejecting or showing as inaccurate that theory or hypothesis through scientific methods, techniques and procedures. If you state a hypothesis that renders it immune to any attempts for rejecting it via scientific methods, then you have violated the falsifiability principle and such hypotheses or theories are scientifically non-viable. You must make predictions that allow your hypothesis to be shown as incorrect.

How does the terms theory and hypothesis differ?
A hypothesis is an idea. A theory is an idea that has been tested to some degree without yet being shown false. Actually this is not quite right. Hypothesis is a scientifically validated research question in the form of a statement whihc can be proven or disproven.
What prediction of inflation theory has since been verified by observations of the microwave background?
If the inflation hypothesis is correct, then there are constraints on the size of aninsotropiesin the CMBR. Specifically, no "hot" or "cold" spot can be greater than one degree in size. Five years of data from WMAP have shown clear agreement between the predictions of inflation theory and the actual anisotropies.
Is it correct to write 'Has showed' or 'Has shown?
Has shown is correct.
