Based on your formulation it seems all new "scientific" [null] hypotheses are "ipso facto unscientific"?
For example c being constant is an axiomatic part of relativity. Ergo to you it seems, as this is not empirical nor an extrapolation but a new hypothesis that when postulated contradicts established science, this suggestion - and presumably the ensuing formulation - was, um, unscientific?
Now I'm happy to go with that, call it a philosophical treatise and recognise the axiomatic nature of relativity but at this point I think your definition of science is too tight; theoretical physics to me is a part of science. Indeed I'd say wild hypothesising can be (and is called) science depending really on what you do with those hypotheses.
