Asking all scientists doing research in the area the hypothesis concerns and confirming the hypothesis based on a consensus of their opinions is not a valid way to test a hypothesis as it relies on subjective opinions rather than objective evidence. Valid ways to test a hypothesis include conducting experiments, comparative studies, and testing the predictive value of the hypothesis by comparing it to known data from nature.
