I thought the scientific approach was all about coming up with a hypothesis to test, testing it, and then adjusting the hypothesis based off the results. Scientific research is always changing based off what we learn, if a community is applying legitimate analysis to a problem then they shouldn’t be harangued just because they haven’t found the answer yet.
It’s entirely possible that particle or string or quantum theory isn’t the answer. We’ll get there one day though!
Yes, but I could hypothesize anything. We don't test every conceivable hypothesis. We test those that could explain what can't already be explained. A lot of the driving factors behind these hypothesized particles are to fix problems that don't really exist. Or that's what she says anyway.
