Answer: True

Explanation: science is supposed to produce so-called "laws", however history of science tells us that "laws" make space to other "laws" (there are no eternal laws). What we call "law" is usually a theory that was not yet falsified. However, there is a high probability that in some time, it will be falsified. Theory is not a hypothesis. Hypothesis can be described as an idea, concept not yet tested in reality. Theory is a hypothesis which succeeded in reality test (and for the moment there was no case falsifying it).
