What philosophical hypotheses have been refuted by science?

If we take the entire period from antiquity, then many of the first hypotheses now look naive. Someone thought that everything is made of fire. Someone-out of the water. Now we know that fire is not a substance, but only a phase state of matter. Water contains only two chemical elements – hydrogen and oxygen, and many others have been discovered in addition to them. Democritus believed that matter consists of indivisible elements-atoms. The atoms turned out to be divisible, and in general it turned out that in the subatomic world everything is very difficult. Most of the hypotheses related to space have been refuted. But some ancient hypotheses are still alive – not everything is so simple with Plato's ideal world, for example. And some hypotheses are unverifiable in principle – like solipsism, for example.

The Science Of “Understanding The Word” According To the Church God Of Words.it completely refutes all modern philosophy and puts a big cross on it.
Just try to do this science,then you will not be torn from it.

The answer was false.
For example, the philosophers of the time of Democritus, Anaximenes said that everything in the world consists of elements (water, fire, earth)
And I'm sure many of the new hypotheses are also unscientific.

None at all.
A philosophical hypothesis cannot be refuted by the data of empirical science, just as mathematical theorems cannot be proved or refuted by the laws of physics.
* this refers to metaphysics, i.e. the area of fundamental problems such as being and cognition.
