M-Theory (despite the name), is currently a hypothesis, not a scientific theory.
The "Big Bang" Theory is absolutely testable and falsifiable.
Your classification system needs work.
Interesting. I would like to hear how you would test it for falseness. To my knowledge there is supporting observation evidence of the theory. But this is not the same as being testable of falsifiable.
