Why do we repeat experiments?

To back up the test results of the first test. (Same as recounting)

To the same extent that they believe gravity exists away from our planet, and for the same reason: scientists observe the predictions made by both ideas. Planets move around our Sun just as gravity predicts they will, and our Universe is exactly as predicted by Big Bang Cosmology.

How do scientists gather evidence to answer?

Observation, like Tycho Brahe observing the motion of the planets; Experimentation, like Galileo dropping a ball from the tower of Pisa; and interpretation like Einstein's Brownian Motion.

These are the ways evidence is gathered and all three can be wrong. Replication, others getting the same answers from repeating the first scientists work is a safeguard but not sure protection. For example the redshift is mis-interpreted to mean the Universe is expanding. The observation is correct but the interpretation is incorrect because of Group Think.
