What is the difference between hypothesis and law?
A hypothesis is what someone suggests could be true, and then tests it to see whether or not it is true. A law is what has been proven to be true.
What is a a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question?
In the scientific world that could be a theory, hypothesis, qualitative observation, prediction, or an inference. You can choose one.
In science does the hypothesis have to be testable?
A hypothesis is often used as a starting point to define the scope and objectivity of performing an experiment. A hypothesis is a statement that implies there is insufficient evidence to support an idea or an explanation of an observation or principle. It is a statement of unproven fact, sometimes just a guess that is tentatively accepted as a basis or foundation for further investigation. If a hypothesis is proven to be correct beyond reasonable doubt, it becomes a theory and is generally accepted by the scientific community. I hope this answered your question!
How could a hypothesis that is porven to be false lead to new scientitfic investig?
A hypothesis that is proven false can guide scientists to refine their theories and explore alternative explanations. This process often reveals gaps in current understanding, prompting new questions and investigations. Additionally, the methods used to test the hypothesis may uncover unexpected data or phenomena, leading to innovative research directions. Ultimately, the pursuit of knowledge benefits from the critical examination of incorrect hypotheses.
Why can a hypothesis never be proven that it is true?
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 scientist on television states that a hypothesis cannot be proven Access why this statement is correct?
This statement is correct because a hypothesis is a proposed explanation that has not been validated through experimentation and evidence. Scientific inquiry aims to test and gather evidence to support or reject a hypothesis, rather than proving it true. It is always possible for new evidence or data to emerge that could challenge or refine a hypothesis.
What is the nature of sciences hypothesis?
A scientific hypothesis could be described as a reasonable guess. If it checks out, it can be promoted to the status of a scientific theory.
Why is the snorg hypothesis not scientific?
There is no experiment or possible evidence that could prove that invisible snorgs do not exist. So the Snorg Hypothesis is not scientific. On the other hand, the "Negative Snorg Hypothesis" (that they do not exist) is scientific. You can disprove it by catching one.

How do you state an alternative hypothesis?
When more than one hypothesis is shown on a scientific paper, the alternative hypotheses can be numbered. They could use a format like, Hypothesis No. 1, Hypothesis No. 2, and so on.

Is a hyphothesis a statement of fact?
A hypothesis is educated guess. It could be a fact but not a proven one yet. Hypothesis are made in an "if, then" format ex) If the sun is shinning, then it is not raining. THerefore it is a statement until proven fact.

When reading a scientific paper how would you know that a specific hypothesis could go on to become a law?
I would imagine any hypothesis could go on to be a law but depending on the subject, I would guess most do not
