Or is there another level of that reality that we just haven't figured out yet? In The Mirror of Galadriel, Sam professes that he'd like to see a bit of "elf magic." Galadriel isn't exactly sure what he means, as to her, what she does isn't magical at all. So those quantum fluctuations in which something appears seemingly ex nihilo, it just might be that we don't understand (yet) what is really occurring.

And regarding the iPhone Palantíri without the use of satellites: Did the elves tune the stones to a specific wavelength that permitted data transfer across long distances without loss? Could the ability of 'seeing the past' be explained by capturing the radio-like waves emitted at that time from space? Big hurdle, but possible?
