"You" or your consciousnesses would wake up in your own body, but unless marked with a marker, the outer world wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two.

I was wondering to myself about teleportation once, about how the information that travels through the internet is just a copy of the original, but an outside observer can't tell the difference either way. If humans learned how to teleport, there would always be a small suspicion that the people who come out through the other side would simply be copies of the original people and no one would ever be able to tell the difference... furthermore, that would mean that the original person (or their consciousnesses) was destroyed o_0

Here's a tougher one: If you would split every atom of your body and then put them together again, you would certainly still have all of your memories and consciousness intact. But what if you split all your atoms and replaced them with new ones? o.0

omg have you played the game 999 on DS? I just finished it the other week and it mentioned the exact same crazy theories XD Really cool game btw

Anyways, I'm not even sure the first case would keep your consciousness intact since a brain can't function when split up so you'd "die" the instant you got split up. If you were put back together in the same way, it'd just be like a copy of you.

Just noticed the way I wrote that, sounded as though I was certain but I actually have no idea lol :p
