Suppose that, in an instant, your body and mind ceased to exist. Just completely vanished.
And suppose further, that nobody witnessed this, and that one instant later, by some very unlikely process, some matter or energy spontaneously organized itself into an exact duplicate of you, down to every last quantum wobble, in exactly the same place that you were standing.
Would either this new you or the old you notice? Would "you" still be "you"?
