How about a big vetted database like arxiv of all hypotheses, all proposed experiments to test them, and all experimental results?

Vetted by who?

To be clear I'd be very much in favor of scientific studies and their data having to be publicly available.

But on any controversial area, which is most of the areas anyone cares about, there will be 2+ sides of the issue and any vetting body will be compromised to some degree for one of those sides.

arxiv is an open-access journal that checks for spam. It is very much not "vetted" lol
