If you take a copenhagenapproach and observe the test person from the outside after a while, you will in general find two different random outcomes corresponding to different subjective experiences.
I assume we humans are complex many-particle systems and our consciousness is produced by a many-particle system (our brain). Such a many-particle system is fully described by the knowledge of a state in a Hilbert space. Assuming at time t=0 we had two identical "human systems" in the same state. In what way would the consciousness of these two systems differ? Would the two brains produce the identical consciousness?
The question what constitutes an individual mind timeline inside this quantum state is I think a very challenging problem.
Quote:Assuming there would be a multiverse producing lots of universes and some universes would generate complex life systems and this would happen infinity times. Then it should be possible that after my death a system (almost) identical to mine should be formed after a very long time and in that way I would live again. It is just a question of probabilities.
What do you think about it?
It would be a clone, nothing with continuity to your self
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
