Quantum mechanics. The entire field of quantum mechanics is about how you don't know what's in a box until you open it.

You especially don't know what's going on if there's a cat in the box.

Relativity. A theory invented by einstein, which suggests that one guy might say "it's like this," but another guy might be like "sez you, buddy.

Einstein discovered it when an apple fell on his head, and he thought 'maybe it was me who fell on the apple's head."

Finally, quantum computing is when you take a computer and put it in a box. You open it later and it's solved an infinitely complicated problem.

This is possible because you don't know what's ina box until you open it, so maybe it's solving infinity problems in there.

Could some of those things be mushed together to explain consciousness?

Absolutely
