For a start, the table has mass and therefore needs thrust equal to its mass to fly/ float. Next, it would have to fly through the wall/ door of your room/ house (presuming the door is closed) which is again physically impossible. Evidence? If that was then we'd all be dead, scorched at the centre of the earth.
So to argue against that, the fact that we are alive proves that the table can't fly to the moon and back.

But using your idea in another thought: How can we be sure that our memories are real? How can we be sure of anything?
(Okay fine that was rhetorical. We can't.)
Therefore the table could fly to the moon and back
*cue 'THAT'S PURE GENIUS....NOT REALLY!' face*

You cannot prove that. You can only prove that the table is back when you arrive. We believe that it didn't move. But we cannot prove it.

Unless we have done something horribly wrong in the field of physics we certainly can prove that it didn't move on its own. For example, you would need an opposing force stronger than the force of gravity being exerted on the table for it to fly, and we know that the table can't generate a force because it's stationary - which means that it can only move if something else exerts a force on it.
Ok I'm gonna leave this be because I've got my opinion across. Physics is tiring :/
