Well, considering everything is moving in a cavernous vacuum of space that carries a slight element of "lag" within gravity as a component,
it is better said that everything we "are" is "wassening" and therefore the you that you think is now is actually in the past,
therefore,
what could be truthfully encompass as "yourself" doesn't really actually exist.
At all.

Nobody has come up with a simple, testable hypothesis so at the moment nobody really knows. But they'll churn out half-brained ideas about it regardless.

The last reminder of our inability to answer even the most basic philosophical question and thus the meter to proper humility in face of the overwhelming unknown.
