I Have A Super USB Drive

Chen Chen once heard a little story:

The background of the story is in the distant future. At that time, mankind had invented countless black technologies, one of which was transmission technology.

It works like this: you walk into the teleportation platform, which is a very small room, and then you have to set the place you are going to in the room, assuming you start from the capital city and go to Kyoto.

When you select the destination, you press the button, and the equipment in the teleportation room starts to scan your whole body, collecting all the detailed information about each atom and the exact position of each atom.

While the teleportation room is scanning you, it is also destroying you. While scanning, it destroys each of your cells and decomposes them into the 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 processes can be completed in one second. After one second, you will have crossed more than two thousand kilometers and come to Kyoto from business.

And the current you are no different from the previous you-your mood has not changed, your stomach is still a bit hungry, and even the scratches on your fingers are still there.For you, all you feel is: press the button, then your eyes will go dark, and then you will arrive in Kyoto.

In the 28th century, this has become a very common technology, and everyone travels in this way, not only convenient, but also safe.

But one day, you are going on a business trip again, so you come to the transmission room again, press the button, you hear the sound of the instrument scanning, but you are not transmitted.

So, you go to the customer service staff of the transmission station and tell her that the equipment in the transmission room is broken. The customer service takes a look at the usage record and tells you: "The scanning device is working normally. It collects all your data, but it is synchronized with the scanning device. The working cell destruction equipment seems to be malfunctioning."

"I'm going to be late for work, you can use another departure room for me!" You didn't bother to listen to her explanation, just emphasized.

The customer service opened the surveillance video, and the above is the surveillance image of you in Kyoto, "Look, this is the surveillance image of your transmission room in Kyoto, in fact, you have arrived in Kyoto."

Hearing that, you are completely angry: "But that's not me, because I'm still here!"

At this time, I heard the noisy customer service manager coming over, and then explained to you, "The scanning equipment is indeed working normally, and "you" has indeed arrived in Kyoto, but the cell destruction equipment in the transfer room on the Shanghai side is broken, but Don't worry, we just need to send you to another teleportation room, and then activate the cell destruction device inside to destroy you."

Although it has become common knowledge in the world to use the teleportation room to teleport yourself, you suddenly panic at this time: "Wait a minute, won't I die if I am destroyed?"

The customer service manager explained: "It's not such a gentleman, you watch the surveillance video, you are alive and well in Beijing."

Hearing that, you panic even more: "But that's not me, it's just a copy, I am the real me!"

The customer service and manager looked at each other helplessly: "I'm sorry, sir, but the law requires that we must destroy your cells. The law cannot allow two you to exist in the world at the same time."

You looked at each other in horror, and then began to run for your life, but the two guards caught you from behind and dragged you to another teleportation room...

...

"Although this little story is a bit absurd and funny, the truth is very straightforward-"You before being teleported" or "You after being teleported", which one is the real you?"

At this moment, Chen Chen smiled and explained to Xiao X, "So, to really define whether a person is himself or not, in fact, it still needs to be distinguished by consciousness, and the'consciousness' here does not refer to similarity, because the previous In the story, if the similarity can define a person, then the "you" of Shangdu and the "you" of Kyoto are the same person, because you two have the same memory and the same personality, but what about you? It's "you", the "you" in Kyoto is not "you"."

"If similarity cannot be defined, then what can be defined?" Xiao X asked thoughtfully.

"Of course it's continuity."

Chen Chen replied, "Human consciousness is continuous. Your thinking, your character, and your memory build up your subjective consciousness together, just like a baby grows into an adult, and everything that a baby experiences is formed. Now in his consciousness, you can't say that the one-year-old and the 50-year-old are not the same person."

"Indeed, from a physical point of view, the 10-year-old you and the 50-year-old have nothing in common. Every cell in the 1-year-old boy has been dead for decades, but the continuity of consciousness will not What's changed, the 50-year-old may not remember his 1-year-old self, but he remembers his 40-year-old self, while the 40-year-old remembers his 30-year-old self. Even if he loses his memory, he essentially does not change the causality ..."

"I understand!"

Little X shouted immediately, "In this way, the particle transmission device does indeed destroy the continuity of consciousness, and the consequence of destroying the continuity is to end the previous consciousness. Even if it can replicate this consciousness, it is still It's not the original consciousness."

"Yes, consciousness is unique, and it can't be continued through copying."

Chen Chen nodded and said, "Moreover, in the TV series "Star Trek", this kind of transmission device had a traffic accident. In the TV series, when Captain Kirk was reorganized, he was assembled into two people, and a new parallel was created. The universe, that is to say, this kind of particle transmission device is absolutely problematic, the problem is so big that even a USB flash drive thinks it can be practically applied."

"In other words, it's not that this kind of transmission device is not scientific, but that no one will use it?" Xiao X asked.

"Yes, that should be it."

Chen Chen replied, "And I tried "Killing City" and "Terminator" a long time ago. These two movies are no problem and can be recognized by the USB flash drive, which means that their transmission technology should be compatible with particle transmission. There is a certain difference."

Having said that, Chen Chen dragged the two movies "Terminator: Genesis" and "Killing City" to the USB flash drive.

With only a sigh, the two movies were successfully dragged into the U disk.

"In "Terminator: Genesis", it is also the first time the full picture of the time machine appears in a movie series. It is a huge platform like a small mountain. It is impossible to capture reality, but its function is beyond all. Teleportation device-can transmit a life from this timeline to another timeline, but wouldn't this create a time paradox?"

Chen Chen murmured, "Or, there is actually another explanation..."
