Yes

Work Step by Step

It is possible to disprove a scientific hypothesis. A hypothesis is a testable statement, and if experimental evidence consistently contradicts it, the hypothesis is rejected or revised. This process is essential to scientific progress, ensuring that only ideas supported by reliable data are accepted. Formulate hypotheses in such a way that you can prove or disprove them by direct experiment. Science advances by conducting experiments that could potentially disprove our hypotheses. Increase the efficiency and impact of your science by testing clear hypotheses with well-designed experiments.
