You seem to be missing the fact that science is comprised of equal parts skepticism and proof. This skepticism and proof as well as independent verification have already been applied to the studies published that are used to form the current consensus.
There are thousands of articles I could point you to to help correct this basic misunderstanding you (and others) seem to have, but I'll point to just one,
Chapter 17 in Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World: The Marriage of Skepticism and Wonder to help clear that up for you.

And in 1904 there was over 200 years of published data supporting classical mechanics. It took a German-born Swiss-American theoretical physicist, philosopher, skeptic supported by a modicum of empirical data to present an alternative theory. And another four years for mainstream physicists to accept it.
And if
Hořava gravity can be believed, even that is questionable.
