Unproven Reality

There sits a box. It is sealed tight. Rumor has it inside the box there is a gold ring. But nobody knows for certain because the box can't be opened. Therefore, the existence of the ring can't be proven.

Question: does the inability to prove the existence of the gold ring affect the reality of the gold ring?

I want that petroglyph. $1.9M is what I had earmarked for retirement, but who needs creature comforts when I can have a hunk-o-clay with a fish etched on it. Sobering. :-)
