We've got to have candor and talk about these things while we reject wild hypotheses,
One must credit an hypothesis with all that has had to be discovered in order to demolish it.
(After this week's Fed speakers) the bottom line is we will most likely know what the Fed will do before September 20. My ... hypothesis is the Fed will maintain its tightening path, uninterrupted.
We know from the judgment and decision-making literature that once we have formed an opinion, that opinion is likely to stick and we're going to look selectively for evidence supporting our hypothesis.
The materialistic point of view in psychology can claim, at best, only the value of an heuristic hypothesis.
Hypotheses are lullabies for teachers to sing their students to sleep.
Mathematics is not a deductive science that's a cliche. When you try to prove a theorem, you don't just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork.
How does any place influence one's poetry Sometimes I joke that Hypothesis is about an Alberta boy's struggle to have French boyfriends.
Don't just read it fight it Ask your own questions, look for your own examples, discover your own proofs. Is the hypothesis necessary Is the converse true What happens in the classical special case What about the degenerate cases Where does the proof use the hypothesis.
There is no justifiable prediction about how the hypothesis will hold up in the future; its degree of corroboration simply is a historical statement describing how severely the hypothesis has been tested in the past.
Q What is the difference between a hypothesis and a theory A Think of a hypothesis as a card. A theory is a house made of hypotheses.

The problem with the bacteria hypothesis is that an extremely high concentration of bacteria must exist before they begin to produce light. But what could possibly support the occurrence of such a large population.
It is a common error to suppose that the Higher Life is a matter of reading, and the adoption of theological or metaphysical hypotheses, and that Spiritual Principles can be apprehended by this method.
In choosing a hypothesis there is no virtue in being timid. I clearly would have been burned at the stake in another age.

I have steadily endeavoured to keep my mind free so to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved (and I cannot resist forming one on every subject), as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.
We have to distinguish two classes of instincts, one of which, the sexual instincts or Eros, is by far the more conspicuous and accessible to study.... The second class of instincts was not so easy to point to in the end we came to recognize sadism as its representative. On the basis of theoretical considerations, supported by biology, we put forward the hypothesis of a death instinct, the task of which is to lead organic life back into the inanimate state on the other hand, we supposed that Eros ... aims at complicating life and at the same time, of course, at preserving it. Acting in this way, both the instincts ... would be endeavouring to re-establish a state of things that was disturbed by the emergence of life. The emergence of life would thus be the cause of the continuance of life and also at the same time of the striving towards death and life itself would be a conflict and compromise between these two trends.
I believe the anthropogenic effect for climate change is still only one of the hypotheses to explain the variability of climate.
I think we can say that this study provides further support for the hypothesis that humans and chimpanzees should be in one genus, rather than two different genus' because we not only share extremely similar genomes, we share similar generation time.
No relevant data which support hypotheses, laws, models and theories could be found in the papers and books by proponents of intelligent design, only unsubstantiated assumptions. Therefore, it can justifiably be viewed as pseudoscience.
The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion - these are the most valuable coins of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.
God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.
Limbo has never been a definitive truth of the faith. Personally, I would let it drop, since it has always been only a theological hypothesis.
Our working hypothesis is that the status of knowledge is altered as societies enter what is known as the postindustrial age and cultures enter what is known as the postmodern age.
put forward a hypothesis, a morally impossible hypothesis, to show why it is morally impossible and reprehensible.
The word "belief" is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it - I don't need to believe it.
SEAL, n. A mark impressed upon certain kinds of documents to attest their authenticity and authority. Sometimes it is stamped upon wax, and attached to the paper, sometimes into the paper itself. Sealing, in this sense, is a survival of an ancient custom of inscribing important papers with cabalistic words or signs to give them a magical efficacy independent of the authority that they represent. In the British museum are preserved many ancient papers, mostly of a sacerdotal character, validated by necromantic pentagrams and other devices, frequently initial letters of words to conjure with and in many instances these are attached in the same way that seals are appended now. As nearly every reasonless and apparently meaningless custom, rite or observance of modern times had origin in some remote utility, it is pleasing to note an example of ancient nonsense evolving in the process of ages into something really useful. Our word sincere is derived from sine cero, without wax, but the learned are not in agreement as to whether this refers to the absence of the cabalistic signs, or to that of the wax with which letters were formerly closed from public scrutiny. Either view of the matter will serve one in immediate need of an hypothesis. The initials L. S., commonly appended to signatures of legal documents, mean locum sigillis, the place of the seal, although the seal is no longer used --an admirable example of conservatism distinguishing Man from the beasts that perish. The words locum sigillis are humbly suggested as a suitable motto for the Pribyloff Islands whenever they shall take their place as a sovereign State of the American Union.

The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.
They're run by the same management team, and their argument for choosing airline stocks is that air travel is likely to build over time. I guess this goes to show how even that well-built hypothesis can be vulnerable.
Originally, in the early eighties, the drug hypothesis was among the first which occurred to scientists.
Even if it had not been possible to reproduce the disease in animals and consequently to verify the hypothesis, this simple observation would have been sufficient to demonstrate the way in which the disease was propagated.
We don't have enough information to make any kind of hypothesis.
It is more than likely that the brain itself is, in origin and development, only a sort of great clot of genital fluid held in suspense or reserved. This hypothesis would explain the enormous content of the brain as a maker or presenter of images.
The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience.
Your Highness, I have no need of this hypothesis.
There's more than one individual, so they can refute the hypothesis that this is just some kind of freak. Also, the data suggest that the remains are from a fairly long time span, so that makes it tough to say that this is due to some sort of disease.
It is an hypothesis that the sun will rise tomorrow: and this means that we do not know whether it will rise.
The first and most important reason for its elimination is the unquestioned fact that evolution is not a science; it is a hypothesis only, a speculation.
Whether or not Copernicus knew it, even genuine heliocentrism had at least one ancient advocate 'But Aristarchus of Samos brought out a book consisting of certain hypotheses, in which the premises lead to the conclusion that the universe is many times greater than that now so called. His hypotheses are that the fixed stars and the sun remain motion less, that the earth revolves about the sun in the circumference of a circle, the sun lying in the middle of the orbit, and that the sphere of the fixed stars, situated about the same center as the sun, is so great that the circle in which he supposes the earth to revolve bears such a proportion to the distance of the fixed stars as the center of the sphere bears to its surface.'
