Is a scientist hypothesis accepted if there is no way to prove that they hypothesis is wrong?

How fast does coffee dissolve in hot water in cold water with hypothesis?

WikiAnswers is not going to do your experiment for you - that's cheating and it's wrong. Plus, you could be expelled for cheating. This is an easy enough experiment to do - just make a hypothesis of which one you think will dissolve the fastest and take 10 minutes to actually try it with hot and cold water. That's about how long it will take you to do the experiment yourself.


How can a scientist make sure that the results of an expiriment are not a mistake?

It is more like trial and error. They make the experiment more accurate by the correct measurements and making sure they are using the correct equipment. When something goes wrong they simply repeat the experiment, to make the experiment improve.


When a scientist finds that a hypothesis is wrong the scientist usually?

A hypothesis doesn't necessarily need to be correct. After a scientist has conducted an experiment and discovered that their hypothesis is incorrect, they still have gained the knowledge and the results from their experiment---as well as the correct answer, in some cases. They can use the results from the experiment that tested the original hypothesis to form a new experiment.
