@TerryHancock In a ray, it's similar to the parallel world / diverging timelines. The other "me" is still me but with different experiences and in a reality with a different history.
Only, in this teleportation/transfer of consciousness, it happened in the same reality.
So, both are still "you you".
Did I understand it correctly?
The way you explained it kind of made that connection. I openly accept there's another version me out there in the multiverse that diverged from some point in time. We simply both exist.
Huh. That actually brought The Prestige in a new light. He was committing murder every time he used the machine. 😱
