An experiment usually tests a hypothesis, which is an expectation about how a particular process or phenomenon works.

The null hypothesis is that there is no explanation or predictive power of the phenomenon through the reasoning that is being investigated.

Chronologically, however, this hypothesis is hard to sustain ( the forces believed to have given rise to the phenomenon arrived later than it ).

" It is not a final conclusion about the formal cause of the phenomenon but merely a hypothesis.

Recent experiments with particle coherers seem to have confirmed the hypothesis that the particles cohere by a micro-weld phenomenon caused by radio frequency electricity flowing across the small contact area between particles.

Devereux doesn't advocate, as in Persinger's TST, that the phenomenon might create hallucinations of UFO encounters in people, instead proposing an even more radical hypothesis: that earthlights may possess intelligence and even have the ability to read witness ' thoughts.

Supported by initial evidence, the hypothesis was long held as firmly established, describing a robust and pervasive phenomenon of social cognition.

:" discussions of the UFO issue have remained narrowly polarized between advocates and adversaries of a single theory, namely the extraterrestrial hypothesis ... this fixation on the ETH has narrowed and impoverished the debate, precluding an examination of other possible theories for the phenomenon.
