I was thinking, the other day, about parallel universes. In a multiverse, anything is possible ( if physical laws also change with universes) . Maybe, in another universe, I would be reading this, and you would have written it. But would consciousness be preserved. That is, would I be "I" , or you? Would I have the same personality?
I don't think. But then, wouldn't I be you and you be I? Then what's the difference? If I am to remain myself, I must have the same genes. That means, my parents must be the same. Their parents must be the same. Then, the entire history would be in a different place. Or is it possible at all? For me to be in your place in another universe? What would happen to consciousness?
