The basis of science is this:

(3) If the experiment is successful, you work from the assumption that your idea is right until/unless someone comes up with an experiment that proves your idea wrong.
(Steps of the Scientific Method)

1. statement of the problem,

2. hypotheses as to the cause of the problem,

3. experiments designed to test each hypothesis,

4. predicted results of the experiments,

5. observed results of the experiments and
conclusions from the results of the experiments.
