Scientific theories are just models of reality. They aren't truths, they are merely models which make accurate predictions. These models prove useful and they increase our understanding of the world, but they aren't necessarily true. Thus phenomena deemed impossible by accepted mainstream theories might be possible in reality. Perhaps the model says it's impossible, but the model is only a useful representation of reality, not reality itself.
