Quote: If you want to go on from there, the options are : Everything outside the box is like the things in the box, which makes no sense, as the very nature of outside"ness" (of the box) would make that unlikely, or, put another way, the fact that you can't perceive beyond the physical must mean there's a reason, it must mean that it's nature is different.Understand the burden of proof.

Just because the things that my physical senses perceive are also physical that doesn't mean that anything undetectable by my senses isn't physical.
