"I can't answer your question about 40. I can tell you that there are ***thousands*** of studies that have tested the predictions of relativity. There are tens of thousands testing quantum theories."Unlike you, I know how science works. I've read studies. Lots of them are needed:
1. There are a lot of factors that require controls. Different studies try to do controls in different ways, but no study can control for everything. Taking the studies together helps create a fuller picture. If five studies find an effect, but five others don't, then maybe we need to look at the differences in those studies to find the answers.
2. Studies on humans never present clean data. Again, that makes things more complex.
3. Science is built on replication. Right off the bat, redundancy (i.e. inefficiency) is a fundamental aspect of scientific research.
4. When lots of studies are conducted, then how to make sense of them all? You need more studies. In particular, some studies are called meta-analyses, which is when researchers take all the studies that have been conducted, and then try to make sense out of the results. Meta-analyses are often used by policy makers, because they tend to be more generally applicable.

There's tons of unknowns in relativity and quantum theories. There's nothing complex about vaccines except how you convince the crazies to stop being crazy .
