Thought Experiment:
You step into my matter duplicating chamber. The chamber is symmetrical.
You stand 5 feet from the center. I turn on the machine. A person who
looks just like you seems to appear 10 feet away. He's staring at you.
Questions:
1)Are you the original or the copy?
2)What experiment did you perform to make that determination?
3)Does that other fellow agree with you?
4) If it turns out you're the copy would there be any reason to be upset?
