No no im not saying they would share anything, they would just be identical seperate consciousnesses.

The perspectives would be the same up until the point the simulated replica was created. The replica would have all of your memories because it was a replica, but then its perspective would just suddenly pop into the computer simulation. So "it" would feel/perceive like "you" just entered into whatever simulation was created. But "you" would just continue normally.





I don't think we should have the type of consciousness we have now by physics alone, but we do. No one can proove that though.


I believe if a consciousness can disappear eternally, it never existed, as what we define as consciousness, in the first place. If there is no medium to carry on the memories.. then from that perspective it never existed, but we exist now of course...
