This is really a somewhat confusing issue, on which there is no general agreement. Some say that numbers (and other math concepts) exist independently of any physical reality. Others say that numbers are concepts made up by humans. However, note that if SOMEONE ELSE (say, some aliens) "make up" the numbers, many of the things will be exactly the same (for example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17... will always be prime numbers, though the aliens may call them by a different name).

Is there a concept in mathematics that is impossible to prove a thing does not exist?
There is no such concept because it is not true. There are many mathematical proofs based on proving the non-existence of a thing. The following example should demonstrate. I want to prove that the biggest number does not exist. Let us suppose it does exist, and let us call it B (for biggest). But then consider B + 1. B + 1 is bigger than B (this can be proved as well). So B cannot be the biggest number. That is, there is no such number B. In other words, the biggest number does not exist.
