Answer:
If a hypothesis is not contradicted after a lot of testing, it may be considered a law.
Explanation:
A hypothesis is an intelligent guess which is put forward to explain a particular scientific observation. Hypothesis are temporary explanations that must be subjected to rigorous scientific investigation.
If a hypothesis holds true for some time it is regarded as a theory. The theory is also subjected to further rigorous scientific experiments to see if it can be regarded as a law.
If the statement of the hypothesis is not contradicted after a lot of testing, it may be considered a law.
