Does science ignore opinions?

Opinions are different than scientific hypothesis. A hypthesis is an idea that can (or at least we think can) be tested by the scientific method. Opinions can be anything... personal beliefs, religious ideas, dilusions... really anything and like all people, scientists can have opinions. Opinions really have nothing to do with science and because they are not scientifically testable, some may feel that science is ignoring their opinions.

If a hypothesis can't be tested is it a scientifically used?

If a hypothesis cannot be tested, it does not meet the criteria for scientific inquiry and is generally not considered scientifically useful. Scientific hypotheses must be falsifiable, meaning they can be supported or refuted through experimentation or observation. Untestable hypotheses, often grounded in beliefs or metaphysical claims, fall outside the realm of empirical science and cannot contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge. Thus, for a hypothesis to be valid in a scientific context, it must be capable of being tested and potentially disproven.
