Or, even the fact that many other physicists may be unable to acttually recreate supporting evidence....or even explain it!
Not sure if you have heard of this thing but it is amazing and its called peer review. A scientist will put forth his experiment and results and conclusions forward for other scientists to meticulously examine. If they find a significant fault with the experiment or research or conclusions drawn, the deem it wrong or at least not right enough to put into a peer-reviewed journal. Not being able to re-create the results or 'evidence' of said experiment would come under the category of 'wrong' and therefore not scientifically proven.
So no, we don't just believe physicists because we can't be bothered to do their research and find it out for ourselves. Peer review does that for us.
