__to publish more papers
- what happens if the results of an experiment do not support the hypothesis?
__the experiment is useless
__the hypothesis is discarded without question
__the results are ignored

Question 4
Scientists repeat experiments to check if results are consistent (accuracy) and can be trusted (reliability). Proving someone wrong, getting a desired answer, or publishing more papers are not scientific reasons.
If experiment results don't support the hypothesis, the scientific process involves revising the hypothesis and retesting. Discarding the hypothesis, ignoring results, or calling the experiment useless go against scientific method.
