Testing comes after the Hypothesis, not before. A hypothesis is valid, even without a test to prove it. A hypothesis is a statement that fits the observations. It is science's responsibility to try and come up with a valid test.
Secondly, science needs to be large enough to handle any concept that might be true. This includes things like living in "The Matrix", or being in a glass ball (called a universe) on someone's (God's) desk. Science is strong enough to show these things.
If you discount a hypothesis because you haven't figured out how to test it yet, then you are the one being closed minded.
