Chen Chen once heard a little story:
The background of the story is in the distant future. At that time, humans have invented countless black technologies, one of which is teleportation technology.
The way it works is this: you walk into the teleportation platform, which is a very small room, and then you have to set the place in the room where you are going to go, assuming you are starting from Shangdu and going to Kyoto.
After you choose your destination, you press the button, and the equipment in the transfer room begins to scan your whole body, collecting all the detailed information on your body down to every atom and the exact location of each atom.
While the teleportation room is scanning you, it is also destroying you. While scanning, it is destroying every cell in you and breaking it down into its most primitive particle state.
After the scan is completed, you are completely destroyed. Then, the transmission platform will send the collected information to the transmission station in Kyoto, and use the data recorded during the scan to reconstruct your body.
This step may seem long, but in fact all the processes can be completed within one second. In one second, you will have traveled more than two thousand kilometers and arrived in Kyoto from the commercial capital.
But there is no difference between you now and you before - your mood has not changed, your stomach is still a little hungry, and even the scratches on your fingers are still there. For you, all you feel is: press the button, then everything goes black, and then you are in Kyoto.
In the 28th century, this has become a very common technology, and everyone travels this way. It is not only convenient, but also safe.
But one day, you had to go on a business trip, so you came to the transfer room again and pressed the button. You heard the sound of the instrument scanning, but you were not transferred.
So, you go to the customer service staff at the transfer station and tell her that the equipment in the transfer room is broken. The customer service takes a look at the usage records and tells you: "The scanning device is working normally. It has collected all your data, but it is synchronized with the scanning device. The working cell-destroying equipment appears to have malfunctioned."
"I'm going to be late for work, please use another departure room for me!" You didn't bother to listen to her explanation and just emphasized.
The customer service opened the surveillance video, which showed you in Kyoto. "Look, this is the surveillance picture of you in the transmission room in Kyoto. In fact, you have already arrived in Kyoto."
Hearing this, you became completely angry: "But that's not me, because I'm still here!"
At this time, the customer service manager who heard the noise came over and explained to you, "The scanning equipment is indeed working normally, and "you" have indeed arrived in Kyoto. It's just that the cell destruction equipment in the transfer room in Shanghai is broken, but Don’t worry, we just need to send you to another transfer room, and then individually activate the cell destruction equipment inside to destroy you.”
Although using a teleportation room to teleport yourself has become common knowledge around the world, at this moment you suddenly panic: "Wait a minute, won't I die after being destroyed?"
The customer service manager explained: "That's not the case, sir. Look at the surveillance video, you are alive and kicking in Kyoto."
Hearing this, you panicked even more: "But that's not me, it's just a copy, I'm the real me!"
The customer service and manager looked at each other helplessly: "I'm sorry, sir, but the law stipulates that we must destroy your cells. The law cannot allow two of you to exist in the world at the same time."
You looked at each other in horror and started to run for your life, but two guards grabbed you from behind and dragged you to another transfer room...
…
"Although this little story is a bit absurd and funny, the truth is very straightforward - "the you before being teleported" and "the you after being teleported", which one is the real you?"
At this moment, Chen Chen smiled and explained to Little In the story, if similarity can define a person, then 'you' in Shangdu and 'you' in Kyoto are the same person, because you two have the same memory and the same personality, but in reality? 'you' It's 'you', but the 'you' in Kyoto is not 'you'."
"If similarity cannot be defined, then what can be defined?" Xiao X asked thoughtfully.
"Continuity, of course."
Chen Chen replied, "Human consciousness has continuity. Your thinking, your personality, and your memory all work together to build up your subjective consciousness. It's like a baby grows into an adult, and everything the baby experiences is formed. With his current consciousness, you can’t say that the 1-year-old him is not the same person as the 50-year-old him.”
"It is true that from a physical perspective, you at 1 year old have nothing in common with you at 50 years old. Every cell in that 1-year-old boy has been dead for decades, but the continuity of consciousness does not What has changed is that the 50-year-old person may not remember the 1-year-old self, but he remembers the 40-year-old self, and the 40-year-old person remembers the 30-year-old self. Even if he has amnesia, this causal relationship has not changed essentially. …”
"I understand!"
Little It’s not the original consciousness.”
"Yes, consciousness is unique and cannot be continued through copying."
Chen Chen nodded and said, "And in the TV series "Star Trek", this kind of transmission device caused a traffic accident. In the TV series, when Captain Kirk was reorganized, he was actually assembled into two people, and a new parallel building was created. The universe, that is to say, there is definitely a problem with this particle transmission device, and the problem is so big that even a USB flash drive thinks it can be used in practical applications."
"In other words, it's not that this kind of transmission device is unscientific, but that no one will use this kind of device?" Xiao X asked.
"Yes, that should be it."
Chen Chen replied, "I have tried "Killing City" and "Terminator" a long time ago. There is no problem with these two movies and can be recognized by the USB flash drive. In other words, their teleportation technology should be consistent with particle teleportation. There is a certain difference.”
With that said, Chen Chen dragged the two movies "Terminator: Genisys" and "Killing City" to the USB flash drive.
With just a swish sound, the two movies were successfully dragged into the USB flash drive.
"In "Terminator: Genisys", it is also the first time in the movie series that the entire time machine appears. It is a huge platform like a hill. It is impossible to capture reality, but its functions exceed all The teleportation device can transport a life from this timeline to another, but wouldn’t this create a time paradox?”
Chen Chen murmured, "In other words, there is actually another explanation..."
