The answer is Experiments provide fresh evidence for new interpretations. It is important to point out that scientific method was invented to provide a tool to evaluate claims like the one above. Hypothesis are not strictly scientific and they need to be subject to the rigours of such things as objective observation, error analysis, statistical analysis, and repeatability before they can be claimed as scientific fact, and generally need to be able t correctly predict future outcomes. Hypothesis and theoretical science do not provide an actual answer but give a basis of evaluation.
