Science has to move to untestable areas in order to push the envelope to be able to test them, though. That's what science does. That's one of it's "jobs".

Without trying to test the untestable, we wouldn't be in space, have planes, boats, nuclear energy, fission, fusion, or the like.


I do however agree completely with you on Tesla. I think he is a genius, and he doesn't get recognition because some people view what he was aiming at as unruly.
