That's the whole point though, you wouldn't be able to. The universe in which we live is a closed system; it isn't affected by any external systems. Thus if they exist, it is impossible to detect them.

What is the difference between an undetectable external system and no external system? I still don't get why scientist would pick a mathematical model and even elevate it to the status of Theory when it doesn't have evidence to back it up.

From any possible frame of referrence to us the universe is everything, and so that distinction does not really matter unless you are one of those theoretical physicists working at some institution.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
