Inability to observe the phenomena does not negate it's existence, but the
ability to observe it, does prove it's existance.

This statement doesn't make any sense. Things don't need to exist in
order to describe them. For instance, logical algebra was invented
long before the first digital circuit (IIRC before 1900)!
The first digital circuit didn't use logical algebra but simple decimal
arithmetic operation.
If something was not invented than it didn't existed.
In order for physicist to model physical phenomena the phenomena must
physically exist!
