If you develop an experiment that truly demonstrates that the hypothesis is wrong*, then the hypothesis will lose its acceptance in the scientific community. * Such an experiment would have to be repeatable by other scientists AND accepted by interested scientists as a proof that the hypothesis is wrong.
From Wikipedia: Starting from August 1968, the Glomar Challenger embarked on a year-long scientific expedition, the Deep Sea Drilling Program, criss-crossing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between South America and Africa and drilling core samples at specific locations. When the age of the samples was determined by paleontological and isotopic dating studies, this provided conclusive evidence for the seafloor spreading hypothesis, and, consequently, for continental drift.
It means there is no reason why he should reject it, whether because there is no evidence to the contrary or because an experiment set up to test it affirmed that hypothesis.
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
One observation that was not instrumental in formulating the hypothesis of sea floor spreading is the distribution of terrestrial fossils across continents. While these fossils provided evidence for continental drift, they did not directly relate to the mechanisms of sea floor spreading, which is primarily supported by observations such as the age of oceanic crust, magnetic stripe patterns on the sea floor, and the presence of mid-ocean ridges.
dumb question. don't want to write it all

Granitic strips in the ocean floor ... Novanet
evidence supporting the idea of sea-floor spreading.
Simply put, because there is not enough evidence to support it. "Rejected by scientists" should not be taken to always mean "scientist believe it is impossible" - rather, consistent evidence that support the hypothesis has not been produced.

1) seafloor spreading 2) continental drift 3 i only found 2
It was Alfred Wegener but other scientists did not believe him but he found evidence
Yes, scientists were using the scientific process when they rejected the continental drift theory. The process involves proposing a hypothesis, testing it through observations and experiments, and revising or rejecting it based on the evidence. In this case, scientists rejected the theory because they did not find enough supporting evidence at the time.
