It’s not you. It’s an identical version. But your consciousness ends there. It’s a new entity, it may think it’s me. And for intents and purposes it is. But my sentience ends and rebuilding me doesn’t restart it. It simply starts a new being that’s identical to me.

old question.. begun with the "Theseus Ship"

isn't this just a remixed ship of theseus thought experiment?

Our soul - for want of a better word - is not physical and therefore can’t be physically replicated. And it’s that that makes us unique. So they could replicate the physical being, but no - it would not replicate “me”. And yes I know it’s a thought experiment and I’m missing the point yadda yadda

As long as the memories of experiences are intact then u are the same person.

in terms of physics, this is one of the most difficult things to realize, even more difficult than interstellar travel with folding space time. I prefer to teleport my consciousness to another body in the destination.

The billionaire has invented it? Seems unlikely but okay

This thought experiment doesn’t take how experience shapes you enough into account. Who I am isn’t only because of my biology, but is also a result of what has happened to me or how I choose to react to something in the moment. A kid being mean to you in school or having loving parents will have an impact on how you view the world or the actions you do or don’t take. Facing specific circumstances can change how you think of yourself, like thinking you might never steal for example while never having faced extreme poverty. So are you a person who wouldn’t steal or have you never been given conditions where you’d make that choice?

It would make more sense to describe the body as information and send that information to Mars and reconstruct the body from the information. Begging the question is there a difference between a physical body and its complete informational description?

It depends on how consciousness works which we don't know.

this is basically the plot of SOMA

Consciousness is an ongoing chemical process, much like life. Once you stop it that's it over. The temeporter clone is just that. A clone.

Elçin Recebli :
If consciousness is based on quantum states and entanglement then no technology can clone it. If not, then in principle it’s possible to create a human with any set of phantom memories.

This question has been asked by Star Trek audiences for many years. Last I checked the debate is still raging.

if it's a replica, it's not teletransportation

Isn’t that just a derivative of the ship of Theseus?

It’s different because if the machine preserved you and made a exact copy of you, you would not be conscious in both bodies at the same time

Also interesting thought, what if the Martian appears 1 instant before you’re teleported. Does this imply your death?

by science u r the same as long as the machine doesn't do mistakes. as any thing u remember is physically encoded in the structure and strength of neural connections. so u wouldn't even feel different or think there is an other u.

Problem is the only one that would know that it is you is the one that has been dematerialised.
