Can you 100% rule out a rock being sentient?

i would find it extremely unlikely but not 100%, what if consciousness is some quantum property, kind of like charge, that normally is balanced out so a rock would be neutral charged but if measured precisely surely has a tiny charge, while by special processes like a vandegraff generator you can break b that balance.

now even if a rock has some of that consciousness property it likely still wouldn't be conscious by the standards we normally use since they're is no thought process or input signals it can be conscious of..
