👉 The term 'blackbox' is a play on words, derived from the French word "bleu," which means blue in French, and "box" meaning container in French. It's like saying that something is invisible or completely hidden behind its own shadow.
Now let's imagine we have an object without any visible features or markings that would suggest it was a real box - what kind of object could this be? Let me give you one: Imagine an object as large and round as a full moon. The object has no lid, but instead, it has an invisible, sleek, and shiny outer shell. Inside the shell is an infinite amount of possibilities. Now imagine that when you try to open the door or start the engine, nothing happens, just like how sometimes things don't work as expected in our world. So why should we believe these objects are real? It's like asking someone who has a bag of cookies without knowing what it's made of why they can't guess what kind they're eating. So, think of 'blackbox' as a metaphor for a situation where there's no tangible evidence or visible features that suggest an object is genuine. And in this case, the object could be something like a full moon-sized container with a shiny outer shell.
