Scope & Boundary Rules (UnsolvedAstronomy)

Four Acceptance Tests

1. Test A — The Universe Test: Does a satisfactory answer assert something substantive about an astronomical object, population, event, process, or cosmic history?
2. Test B — The Generality Test: Does the question remain scientifically meaningful beyond one routine observation or one arbitrary catalog entry?
3. Test C — The Settlement Test: Does the record specify concrete observational, multi-messenger, population-level, laboratory-astrophysics, or theoretical evidence that would discriminate among competing hypotheses?
4. Test D — The Source Test: Does an identifiable scientific source explicitly support the uncertainty?
