Is there a word for a hypothesis that can't be proven?

think they are called axioms

A null hypothesis is a theory someone has come up with that they know is wrong. They do it so that when it is proved wrong, they present another hypothesis that they believe to be the correct one, and because of the fact that the first one was proved wrong, more people will believe this second one.

It's tangible evidence that can't be impugned or easily dismissed.

Not according to the physical evidence.

none if they are false

Well, hypothesis is a possible prediction made from your observation.\n\nWish you all the best!

It's possible, but unlikely.

How can something that is unproven itself be proof of something else?  On the other hand, the two theories could be compatible.

I doubt it.\nHow could someone prove it to be?

No one can prove that.

Not to be believed: inconceivable, incredible, unimaginable, unthinkable. Idioms: beyond belief, contrary to all reason. See belief/unbelief.\nNot plausible or believable: flimsy, implausible, improbable, inconceivable, incredible, shaky, thin, unconceivable, unconvincing, unsubstantial, weak. See likely/unlikely.\nSo remarkable as to elicit disbelief: amazing, astonishing, astounding, fabulous, fantastic, fantastical, incredible, marvelous, miraculous, phenomenal, prodigious, stupendous, wonderful, wondrous. See good/bad.

There's no scientific evidence to support your idea...nor is there any evidence to show that it's not a possibility.

There is no way to prove a negative.  You are asking me to prove that something doesn't exist.

A theory is something stated as a hypothesis. A theorem has most likely been proven or agreed to.\n\nFor example, a theory would be, "There are ponies in the center of the Earth." It may sound unreasonable, but is yet to be proven wrong or right.\nA theorem, however, would be the Pythagorean theorem. It was once stated as a theory, but was soon proven with the right triangle.

ONLY a theory? hehe! Then those people don't even understand the terminology they're using. Yes a theory is a proven hypothesis (versus disproven).  Only when someone can disprove it will it lose it's status.  So evolution is a theory. :)

Non-existence can never be proven.  Until evidence is presented for a things existence it's simply irrational to believe in it.

If a theory can be proven, then it becomes a proven fact.  I suspect you'll find a lot of denial, even if someone could prove theories like this.
