What if you (mainly your brain) was taken apart (basically you die) and reassembled in the same order (then come back to life) as it was originally, when you (the reassembled you) wake up would you still be yourself (the exact person you've always been)?

Its hard to explain because we don't know if you wake up as the same conciousness before your brain was reassembled. For all we know that your old self/consciousness might have died, and the new person has the exact same memories and genetic makeup except it could be a new conscious process.

Actually, this might be too mindblowing for people of a forum like this lol.

Hmm, this is a rather interesting question, something that is actually meaningful. I will give my insight on this, but it's merely an insight:

Consider a person, lets call him A. We make an identical copy of him using the exact biological and atomic makeup as A, and call the copy B, in terms of atomic structure, A=B, but in consciousness, B does not equal A. Sp we break B down into atomic particles, and store it. Now's the fun part: so if we take apart A, and put A back together with the exact same configuration and particles, wouldn't it be the same thing as if we then use B's particle's to make A?

But we established that in terms of consciousness, B does not equal A, to answer your question: no, if a person is taken apart and reassembled they wont be the same person.

I don't think you would be the same person because things would have shifted around in your mind and wouldn't be exactly the same. So you would wake up with a new consciousness If that makes sense.

^^ Oh haha, that's actually assuming that that everything stays the same.

aime: so you're saying that the particles of a different source have the same effect when reassembling person?
