And here is where you are demonstrating that you don't really understand how science works. Testing an established theory doesn't get much traction in the scientific community, except as a teaching aid to demonstrate a known principle. The only reason a scientist would conduct an experiment on a known principle is to disprove it and make a name for himself as the discoverer of new knowledge. Disproving an accepted theory carries big rewards of fame and fortune and this is one of the more common practices in science, to devise an experiment and discover new knowledge.
