Never done this myself.

However if you have a new theory, either its theoretical stuff like Stephen
Hawking style and you base your theory on a stack of well known theories and
prove it that way. Its not known that you are right and so you can't
'proove' it but thats why its a theory. Theory of relativity and so forth..

If it were a physical phenomena that he had a theory on then it would be a
matter of devising an experiment to collect measurements and then prove that
the theory is correct to a statistical bound like 99% of the time its
correct or something.

i'm  a student myself, so this is just how I'd go about it. Of course
usually if a student has some theory then they would probalby need the name
of a lecturer ont he paper to give it any credence :)
