It can't be known what's feasible - our physics is mathematically descriptive, not necessarily an accurate representation of reality. Take string theory - it doesn't account for dark energy. Wolfram proposed an entirely new physics, perhaps it's correct. True, there is a history of hidden tech.
Although a lot of knowledge has been gathered it's dwarfed by what's unknown.
Say you're a dolphin, you friend is abducted, and none of the others believe you; and your friend returns talking about free fish...wild talk... but now he knows some new tricks.

Don't panic.

...Of course the absence of knowledge/evidence is not proof of anything.
