Whenever known and sufficient causes are available, it is anti-scientific to discard them in favour of a hypothesis that can never be verified.

The fact that we don't keep repeating tests in the same arena is not because the probability of the hypothesis showing its falsity in other arenas goes up after it has passed tests in one arena.

One must credit an hypothesis with all that has had to be discovered in order to demolish it.

I started my scientific work by putting forward a hypothesis on the arrangement of atoms in nitrogen-containing molecules.

You can't prove any hypothesis, you can only improve or disprove it.

It is absolutely essential that one should be neutral and not fall in love with the hypothesis.

What's so seductive about the efficient markets hypothesis is that it applies nine years out of ten. A lot of the time it works. But when it stops working, you blow up.

One finds the truth by making a hypothesis and comparing observations with the hypothesis.

In choosing a hypothesis there is no virtue in being timid. I clearly would have been burned at the stake in another age.

Not as a demonstrated natural law, but as a working hypothesis.

The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.

Originally, in the early eighties, the drug hypothesis was among the first which occurred to scientists.

Russians didn't elect Trump. Even if there was collusion, even if every hypothesis that has - that is at play in the Russia investigation is proved, still, Americans elected Trump, and he is president.

When you exist in the centre of a debate, as a topic, a hypothesis - otherised and stigmatised - you become the prop in a proposition.

As has repeatedly been stated, the underlying hypothesis, which in a number of cases has been supported by direct experimental evidence, is that each gene controls the production, function, and specificity of a particular enzyme.

Nevertheless, as is a frequent occurrence in science, a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.

I long ago suggested the hypothesis, that in the basin of the Thames there are indications of a meeting in the Pleistocene period of a northern and southern fauna.
