I don't agree that every hypothesis MUST be tested. In order to advance to the status of a scientific theory, a hypothesis must be tested. Otherwise it remains a mere hypothesis. But some hypotheses are beyond our present capacity to test. Hypothesis: there are technologically advanced alien civilizations in our galaxy on planets other than the Earth. Method of testing: explore the galaxy in space ships. Except that we don't really have any interstellar space ships (it's hard enough just getting to the moon!) and the process of exploring the galaxy would be so expensive and so time-consuming that we really could not afford it in our present economic state.

Is it true that biologists discover problems by observing the world around them?
Yes. Observation leads to the identification of a phenomenon or problem, and scientists would then try to formulate a hypothesis to explain the phenomenon or solve the problem. Then the scientist would devise experiments to test the hypothesis. Should the hypothesis fail, the scientist can formulate the new hypothesis. If the hypothesis holds, more experiments must be done to verify it. Only when a hypothesis is tested by many experiments by many people can it be called a theory.
