Referring to Arjans ">H is spreading….." , last weekend
When we were forming EXCEDO (the Dutch >H group )
Dalibor and I had a very lengthy discussion regarding copy and
original.
Dalibor: if I quote you wrong please correct!
Anyway the case was:
If you make an exact (very important word) copy of an
original person, will it be the same, or will the original
know it is the original and the copy know it is the copy!
I claim that this is related to time!
So: if you copy a person " PERFECT" when everything (atoms)
Is put on a hold. I mean a complete "standstill" The copy
Will not know that he/she is the copy. They can however
go different directions. (Like twins). And when they meet
They start discussing who is who!
Dalibor claimed the original will always know he is the
original. I claimed that he then, still is thinking of
one original "spirit"
To give you one example of my opinion:
I freeze a person.
When he is in cryo-suspension.
I put all relevant data in a computer, destroy the
original. Build a new one, and wake him
He will claim, he is the one who went into
The Cryo-suspension.
There is no way this person, will have a memory,
That tells him he has been copied, since I gave
Him the exact brain-pattern where he started with.
If you copy one alive though (living in time)
He'll know when he's been copied, therefore
It will become a part of his memory, and that's
Why he can tell he is the copy or the original.
Anyone an opinion.

Berrie
