* Vasconic substratum hypothesis: This proposal, by the German linguist Theo Vennemann, claims that there is enough toponymical evidence to conclude that Basque is the only survivor of a larger family that once extended throughout most of Europe, and has also left its mark in modern Indo-European languages spoken in Europe.

Carnot did not distinguish between and, since he was working under the hypothesis that caloric theory was valid, and hence heat was conserved.

If confirmed, this would imply special relativity is an approximation to a more general theory, but since the relevant comparison would ( by definition ) be outside the observable universe, it is difficult to imagine ( much less construct ) experiments to test this hypothesis.

The other main type of science is experimental science, which is often said to work by conducting experiments to disprove hypotheses about the workings and causes of natural phenomena – note that this approach cannot prove a hypothesis is correct, since some later experiment may disprove it.

This usage has been criticized as a misnomer, since Sapir and Whorf did not in fact formulate a hypothesis for empirical research, and because it is unclear to what extent Sapir actually subscribed to the idea of language influencing thought.
