Research is based on the so-called scientific method (therefore science) and that is something you can't proof, just belief in. But it's the best we have with extraordinary amount of evidence to back it up.

There was this guy who spent his whole life in rural Arizona. All evidence indicated that the world is made of sand.

Never discount errors of perspective.

If you consider something that all scientists do then you might see a vast shared error.

It was evident that the world was bigger than what the guy saw, he was just not checking (lazy or insatiable or whatever) what's further. There is the difference.

This is why we put walls around our laboratories.

To form a solid base for the giant telescopes we put on them so we don't just see our small horizon.

using the scientific method to demonstrate that the scientific method is the most effective method of science is definitely one of the moments of all time, for science.
