The null hypothesis is an hypothesis about a population parameter. The purpose of hypothesis testing is to test the viability of the null hypothesis in the light of experimental data. Depending on the data, the null hypothesis either will or will not be rejected as a viable possibility.
The null hypothesis is often the reverse of what the experimenter actually believes; it is put forward to allow the data to contradict it.
