I'm pretty sure general relativity has been scientifically verified at least once, probably more than that.
One experiment that I can think of which validated relativity is time dilation. Take two clocks, one at rest, and one moving at high velocity. The clock that was moving will experience less time passing than the clock at rest. This has been verified many times, and if it were not true it would disprove relativity. Also, modern technologies such as GPS rely on this being true to work.
Just mocking some sacred cows, fren!
Fairly sure of a few things:
Time dilation is one of several ways that Relativity could be falsified -- if it were shown that time dilation did not happen, the theory would be proven wrong.
Instead, time dilation is not only known to occur but must be taken into account in a number of situations, including the operation of the GPS system.

I like the analogy of the two identical twin astronauts. One travels to the nearest star at half the speed of light while the other stays on earth. Round trip to the star and back is 9 years. When he returns to earth, he will be several years younger than his twin! If that doesn't screw with your mind, nothing will! Keke
