Discovering a hypothesis that is not true can be as valuable as finding out that it is true. If the hypothesis is not supported, scientists may repeat the investigation to check for mistakes. Or they may look at the original question in a new way, ask new questions, and form new hypotheses. New questions and hypotheses can lead to new investigations and discoveries.
