Untestable questions would include the following:
If in the 1960 US Presidential elections Richard Nixon had won instead of John F. Kennedy, would Nixon also have been assassinated as Kennedy was? Would Nixon have been as successful in resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis? Would American astronauts still have landed on the moon? Would the US be better or worse off today?
This is not testable because there is no way of causing the elections to have worked out differently, or to recreate the world of 1960 in order to run an experiment of that type. We can speculate about these questions but we cannot actually test them.
An untestable question is one that cannot be empirically verified or falsified through observation, experimentation, or evidence. Such questions often involve subjective beliefs, metaphysical concepts, or hypothetical scenarios that lie outside the realm of scientific inquiry. For example, asking whether a deity exists or what happens after death are untestable questions, as they cannot be measured or observed in a scientific context. Ultimately, untestable questions may lead to philosophical discussions rather than empirical conclusions.
It's hypothesis that can't be tested either scientifically or socially.
A testable hypothesis is one that can be supported or refuted through empirical observation and experimentation, allowing for measurable outcomes. In contrast, an untestable hypothesis lacks the means for empirical validation, often because it involves abstract concepts or is too vague. For example, a hypothesis like "all swans are white" is testable, while "the universe has a purpose" is untestable. Thus, the key difference lies in the ability to be scientifically verified.
An example of an untestable hypothesis is "There are invisible fairies that influence human behavior." This hypothesis cannot be tested or measured through observation or experimentation, as the existence of these fairies cannot be confirmed or denied using scientific methods. Therefore, it remains outside the realm of empirical investigation and remains a matter of personal belief rather than scientific inquiry.

Are there elements in the theory that are untestable?
Untestable means you cannot test the specified object. By Matthew Humphrey
for two of the guestions you marked as untestable, rewrite the guestion so that it can be tested
It is difficult to definitively list questions that science will never be able to answer, as the field is constantly evolving. However, some philosophical or metaphysical questions, such as the nature of consciousness or the existence of a higher power, may lie beyond the scope of scientific inquiry due to their inherently subjective or untestable nature.
Interesting but totally untestable.
It's pointless AND untestable.
Unnecessary assumptions
"multiverse" And its not really a theory as (so far) its untestable.
It's hypothesis that can't be tested either scientifically or socially.
Metaphysical statements are unobservable aspects of reality. They are merely speculative and untestable.
unnecessary assumptions.
