Science cannot really PROVE anything. If you consider the arguments of, for example, the 18th century philosopher David Hume, then you will see that science cannot prove things as it consistently relies on induction to form conclusions and induction does not say that something is definitely the result of something else, only that it could be or is likely or even appears at this moment to be the only explanation. Therefore, if we put this belief into the original question "Can science prove something that does not exist?", both yes and no can be argued. No because science cannot prove anything, therefore, it cannot prove something that does exist and it cannot prove something that does not exist. Yes because if you do still believe that science can prove that existing things do exist, you will believe that it can prove that non-exisiting also exist because obviously if a mistake is made to come to this false conclusion, you (the person who has found such a result) will not know the mistake has occured and will not question it if you have done everything right according to the procedures for proving things, because you believe that if you have followed such procedures then you must have proven it because that is the way you believe science works. A complicated discussion really, depends what you believe about the reliabity of 'fact' and the nature of 'proof'.
it's true the science is can really prove any thing.=]
What else can I help you with?
What evidence do you need to prove that i exist?
To prove your existence, evidence such as personal identification documents, biometric data, or witnesses who can testify to interacting with you in person would be necessary. Digital footprint, such as social media accounts or official records, can also demonstrate your existence.
Is it possible for something to cease to exist?

What is the burden of proof in discussions surrounding atheism?
The burden of proof in discussions surrounding atheism lies on the person making the claim that a god or gods exist. Atheists do not have to prove that gods do not exist; rather, the burden is on theists to provide evidence for the existence of a deity.
What is a example of Begging the Question regarding fallacies?
An example of begging the question fallacy would be: "You can't prove that ghosts don't exist because there is no evidence that ghosts don't exist." This argument assumes its conclusion (that ghosts exist) by using the lack of evidence against it as evidence in favor of it.
How did energy always exist?
It didn't, science cannot prove how something can possibly exist forever. Everything must have a begging and an end.
Science of god?
Some science suggests that a god may exist. However there is still no proof to prove that god does exist. Actually, there's no proof to prove that science exists either, but don't let that bother you. Just take our word for it. Would we get something this important wrong?

How do you prove science wrong?
I know for one thing, that science can't prove anything. That is essentially one major thing that makes up science today, and has for centuries. But really, If science can't prove anything, Did science just prove that science can't prove anything? Because if it did, then you can prove that science is wrong, because you just proved something!
How does science prove something is true?
You create a theory. Prove the theory to be true by testing it. If it works, it is true. If it does not work, it is not true.
Can anyone provide scientific evidence that dragons do not exist?
You cannot prove that something doesn't exist. You can only prove that things do exist. It is called the paradox of negative information. You can fail to prove the existence of things and many people would take this as proof of non-existence, but it just isn't so.
How do we know vampires aren't real?
We don't. It is impossible to prove a negative. It is called the Paradox of negative information. You can only prove something does exist, you cannot prove non-existence.
