I think I need to rephrase the question. I’ll post again in a few days.
The replies so far have generally been very polite, given the subject. I was nervous about that. Thanks everyone!
… Hear me out, okay?
Back in 2000 I took my first solo, out of state trip, to meet an online friend. When I got off the bus, she greeted me, and let me know that we had to go stop by her friends house on the way back.
She was Wiccan and needed some Spiritual guidance because the night before she saw a black portal open up in the corner of her room that was giving her really bad vibes.
It wasn’t my thing, but I never discounted it. Maybe it was real, and if nothing else it’s just how her mind is rationalizing things.
But I guess my question is: Does the Scientific Method rule out the possibility that a “real” portal appeared in her room?
Taking wave function probability into account and the absense of data from the room, is it fair to say that the scientific method doesn’t rule out the black portal being real?
Looking for black and white answers if possible, but I’d also love to hear your reasoning~

I’m not trying to prove that something doesn’t exist. I’m asking if we follow the scientific method, does our current understanding of quantum physics allow for phenomena like this to potentially exist in reality?
This is more of an “is it possible?” type of thing more than it is proving a negative.
For example is it possible for a human to grow 200 feet tall? The answer is no (im not a biologist but probably not) and then you can justify it with science
