There is a difference between know "that something is" and "what something is." The initial objections to Newton's theory of gravity were based on his not having a mechanism to explain how it worked. The materialists of the day believed that objects could only affect changes by bumping up against other objects. Action from a distance was ridiculed as magic. (Sound familiar?) Your objection is similar in that respect - you don't know how it could work within your materialist paradigm therefore, in your view, the phenomena does not exist.
