How about making observations that are inconsistent with the theory (as long as they are independently validated and verified, and are pertinent, in terms of the scope of the observations and the theory)?

I think it's really weird that I actually get to just plain repeat myself, but anyway, as I stated earlier...

What prediction could I make about something people have yet to observe? That is, what could we do to check that hypothesis' predictions? Does it even make predictions that are checkable? If so, what are they, or what is one of them?

So yeah, I know, how about making observations inconsistent with the theory? What is one I could make?

Or you could show that the theory contains intolerable internal inconsistencies.

Boring. Besides, you guys will just throw in another parameter like dark matter or the cosmological constant. That's another trap like your Socratic games.

Or that it is inconsistent with well-established theories where their respective domains of applicability overlap.

What experiment do I conduct to try to disprove any or all of that hypothesis? What apparatus would I build? What would the experiment entail? How would I tell my results have disproved the hypothesis?

In other words, just the same way you'd "disprove" any other scientific theory ...

I get it. I don't know if you all do.
