Let me calibrate the detectors to verify my theory.

He couldn't verify his theory of course.

Could I verify my theory?

That note, in fact, verified my theory regarding him.

But in verifying his theory he had also sprung a primed Inhibitor trap.

And yet neither did this empirical success of Newton's theory verify Newton's theory.

I immediately suspected a plot; and all the subsequent findings verified my theory.

Binary pulsar timing has indirectly confirmed the existence of gravitational radiation and verified Einstein's general theory of relativity.

"All the tests they ran on that one crystal would verify their theory that the virus would make the dilithium useless, but not dangerous."

This approach was used to help verify Einstein's theory of general relativity, which adds a small inverse-cubic perturbation to the normal Newtonian gravitational potential.
