  1. Once a hypothesis is proven correct or incorrect, it becomes a conclusion.


  2. No.

    We do not accept the hypothesis that there are invisible pink unicorns on Pluto, just because we are unable to prove that there aren't.

  3. Hypotheses are accepted once they are proven to be true or correct, which in terms then becomes a theory.  

  4. No.  A hypothesis is tested by trying to prove it wrong.  In natural sciences, there is an inate skepticism meaning nothing is considered to be proven beyond an exception.

  5. No. The hypothesis is accepted only if it can be proven right.
