Don't you see the backwards logic in saying that "something does not exist?"

Prove a dense object in space like a neutron star does not exist in our solar system.

You can't, no matter what you say or do it is 100% impossible for you to prove that something does not exist.
 Quoting: LUCUS

You don't understand science, or how it's done. No, science doesn't try to prove negatives (which, as you correctly say, is impossible). What it does is show that, based on the evidence from observations and experiments, the probability of something either becomes very large or vanishingly small.

For something like a neutron star being anywhere within a the solar system the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. The gravitational effects on the planets would be obvious, and it would be easily detectable in a range of wavelengths from radio all the way through to X-Ray.

For a "Planet X" or even "Nemesis", again the evidence shows that their existence is exceedingly unikely.

If we went by your logic the sun at the center of the solar system does not exist.

I find it so hard to believe that someone with a logical mind like yourself would be so against having an open mind unless there were other unseen factors at play.
 Quoting: LUCUS

Applying science and logic, and using the available evidence, shows that there is a very, very, very high probability that the sun exists :)

There's having an open mind to accept possibilities and theories, and having it so far open your brain falls out...
