Whenever your theory requires undetectable forces to work, you might want to re-examine your theory. Doesn’t mean the undetectable factors might not exist, but assuming their existence isn’t very scientific.

Actually what is done is to assume they exist, and then figure out what observable things that should be seen if they do. Then you go look for those things or effects.

Unfortunately, you’re describing the practice of science. That will get you nowhere with this crowd.
