If the matter in my body right now reassembled me after I died for 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years through random chance, will I get my consciousness back?

>> No.10310120

>>10310080
no but you might get something that resembles it. Conditions would have to be the same as now and that's pretty much very unlikely. I guess that it'll take a zillion years like you say.

But you don't get back the soul

Statistically speaking it would assemble into someone or something else first and a new consciousness wouldst begin.

What resembles you? And how do you know that consciousnesses resembling you don’t already exist?

Hmm... If it was the same pieces, no loss and the caveat of being a closed system with no external inputs or outputs, yet being constantly powered by an external source, then 100 percent.

>> No.10310275

Yeah, you're basically immortal. The thing is that the immortality comes from the fact that the same events will eventually happen again on an endless loop.

Everytime you go to sleep, you die and someone else wakes up with your memories.

No. You’d just have a clone that exists in the distant future.

Yes, something like that, but the timescale May be larger. We think no where near that fast.

I've had this thought before. It's easier for a brain to appear than for a universe to appear, so we're all probably brains rather than habitants of a real universe.

No. Simple thought experiment: You are immortal and wait those x thousand years. A perfect copy of yourself assembles itself next to you. There is no transfer of consciousness, nothing that would imply continuity. You can remove your own immortal body from the experiment, nothing changes.

You'll get someone who looks like you but there's no way to prove if your memories (aka a big portion of what makes you you) will be there since all that is stored as electrical patterns in synapses and I assume by "my consciousness" I assume you mean you get to start out exactly as you left then the answer is a high likely hood of now, given infinite time and an infinite universe you could.

That's actually a pretty interesting concept. What if all the people who believe in past lives are actually right?
What I mean is, given that you are some unique individual, defined on a chronology as being 'U,' if you were to come up with some insight that you were Napoleon in a past life, there's no telling whether U existed during Napoleon's lifetime with the exact same insight, only about Alexander of Macedonia. U is therefore a constant.
Of course the odds involved are astronomical compounded, but if you actually believe yourself to be some amalgamation of character traits and memories of another life, there's no way to prove otherwise. And another thing: you may have lived past lives whether you realize it or not.
