I think Brent has commented that consciousness needs a world to be conscious of -- that doesn't, of itself, constrain that world in any way. Even more so if the consciousness is a product of evolution in that world. Evolution cannot produce anything that contradicts the laws of physics.
One way to see that consciousness and physics are not tightly constrained is to note that our consciousness seems adapted to living on a flat Earth in which Newtonian mechanics prevails. The "laws of physics", as we've presently congratulated ourselves on inventing, are so far from intuitive that there are endless arguments over how to interpret them.
