No, many had faith that it would be found because it would help validate string theory (another concept that physicists have faith in) and is a great explanation for gravity.

And yet not all physicists believed in it, I've read opinions that it would never be found - it took several decades for the search.

Two people jump out of a plane one is wearing a new parachute prototype. He has faith that it will open and see him safely to the ground. That faith is based on science and reliable evidence.
The other fellow jumps out stark naked. He does so based on faith and unwavering belief that God will see him safely to the ground. He believes this due to signs he believes to prove his faith in his god and his ability to see him safely to Earth.
There are the differences in the definition of the word FAITH.

Im sorry you don't understand science. Perhaps you should read up on it.
I understand science quite well, Heathen, but you don't understand scientists.
Who doesn't like to be vindicated?
