You don't know what is. Science isn't do something and see if it works, it's about explaining why something works. Scientific experiments only disprove a hypothesis or can't disprove. Eventually a collection of results can be evidence of proof, but it's not actually proof.
You're more in engineering of wanting to do a thing and finding a way to accomplish that thing based on the current understanding of the relative science.
I literally just described the scientific method. Sure, it's not the kind of question most scientists would ask, but it's the same scientific method.
