Dumb question time...

In cases like this, how do you verify the accuracy of measurements when you're measuring beyond the realms of what's been measured before? How can you prove that your measuring equipment is properly calibrated?

Or is the peak measurement merely inferred from what can verifiably be measured accurately?
