The term 'thing' could mean any number of material objects and abstract ideas.

Fuck off, continental. Just because you don't like how science has come to explain the natural world doesn't mean it is retarded. Go back to making unfalsifiable claims and adhering to a dogmatic ideology.

You're saying with certainty that there can't be things that we can't test and observe?

Whether there is or isn't makes no difference. If we can't test and observe it it may as well not exist.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Does the universe end when you [your own individual person] die? If the universe is everything we can observe and experience, and there is no consciousness after death, isn't your own end the end of all things?

everything we observe is dependent on us to be there to observe it. the reality - in the way that you see it - is dependent on you being there; it dies with you. see metaphysical subjectivism.
