That is exactly how the sum total of humanity's collective knowledge is increased. They didn't just find one phenomena and say, "Aha! So that's the speed of light!" and knock off the rest of the evening and get drunk. No. The experiment has been recreated many ways, many, many times, in many different methodologies.
I can see this hypothesis needs an equally rigorous body of painstakingly gained empirical evidence, performed over a period of years, in many different locations. It will not be a quick process. It will require dedication and perseverance. We may face criticism from friends and family (WHY are you buying so many kegs and running off to the beach/ocean/wherever every weekend?) Others may question "What possible use is this knowledge going to be to anyone?" And the answer, for now, is, "We don't know." But one day, who knows?
Just remember: they laughed at Newton when he said, "Hey! Stuff falls down!" Now we can build better shelving, to keep things from falling down. They laughed at Einstein when he said E=mc^2. Now we have nuclear weapons. The future is written from the knowledge that is gained today, and I for one, intend to bring that knowledge into the light of day, for the betterment of all mankind!
