Little nitpick: the researcher actually attempts, through experimentation or other systematic observation, to *disprove* the hypothesis. If he or she can't do so, and others can't either, then the hypothesis becomes provisionally accepted (the provision being that it has to be thrown out or modified if some new evidence can be found to disprove it in the future) as true.
