The answer to the question why is this: It can be rejected at a later date because it is falsifiable in nature if it is a good hypothesis. If you meant to ask HOW it can be rejected, the answer is by way of further experimentation that rules out some or all of the hypothesis as stated.

Why do scientists consider a hypothesis valuable?

It is important to develop a scentific hypothesis that is testable because then you can make a hypothesis to your experiment to see if it is true or not. If it is not true then you will put that on your lab paper that your hypothesis is not true and you will have explain your hypothesis.


Why is it usually not desirable to test all of the bulk material?

Other tests may be required at a later date that will not be possible if the whole of the bulk material has been contaminated by previous testing.


Storing information in long-term memory?

A magnetic read write-head moves a cross a spinning disk changing the polarity of tiny magnetic particles in the disk(s). This can then be read at a later date.


Can the physical laws that establish how things work be investigated by the scientific method?

The scientific method can be used to provide a proof. In most cases, it cannot be disproven. This answer makes a little sense as presented, but it's neither complete nor correct. It's generally accepted by researchers today that NOTHING can be scientifically proven to be correct. One can offer support to an hypothesis, and when a vast quantity of evidence gathered seems to do support the hypothesis, it may graduate to the level of a THEORY. That's about as close to ''proof'' as we can get. This means that stating some scientific contention is a theory is a very strong statement indeed. It means essentially that everyone in the scientific community accepts it as correct. That still doesn't mean it is correct...it simply means that all known evidence accumulated to date has demonstrated that it is. The reason for this apparent waffling is that results that may or may not support a given hypothesis are mutable. The development of new instruments or ideas can alter results and conclusions. Over the years, this has happened many times. There are many who believe that while science can never prove an hypothesis is right, it can be proven to be wrong. I would argue that while the idea may sometimes seem to be absolutely wrong, time and breakthrough instrumentation could alter that evidence also.


How can you tell if a date went well?

If you ask for a second date and they say yes, the date went well.
