In fact, they were. The most recent and significant experiments to detect neutrinos include the T2K and SNO (soon to be SNO+) experiments.
Neutrinos are incredibly hard to detect so the "absence" of neutrinos doesn't mean they are not there. It was long thought that neutrinos did not decay. We now know they do so. Thus, the lower than expected number of neutrinos detected coming from the Sun has been fully explained. It took four decades but the problem is now fully resolved.
An axion is a hypothetical elementary particle that is a candidate for dark matter. It is an extremely light and neutral particle that has been proposed to solve some problems in particle physics and cosmology, although it has not yet been observed experimentally.
They're predicted in Physics, but they've never been detected yet.
A hypothesis
Hypothesis
Scientific data that has not been experimentally tested is unreliable.
Nobody knows, they have never been detected. For now tachyonic matter is purely a theoretical construct.
The particle believed to mediate gravity is called a "graviton." It is a hypothetical elementary particle that is thought to be responsible for carrying the force of gravity in quantum gravity theories. However, gravitons have not yet been detected experimentally.
Because it had not been experimentally confirmed.
A proposed explaination for an observation is called a hypothesis.
A failure has been detected in the safety restraint system.A failure has been detected in the safety restraint system.
