Wait a second. That argument that a universe that is googolplex big has a copy of any person, is that true? Is it like some pigeonhole principle? But this only means that -something- would be copied many times, but not necessarily me, right? Like you could have an obscene number of copies of some rock and the total would be googolplex size but have no copy of me.

You would see trilllions upon trillions of copies of yourself that are very similar to you but not exact. You wouldn't notice the difference, 1 or 2 less atoms. Even millions different atoms you wouldn't notice. Before you even see yourself, you would see copies of half of the people you have ever known.

Are they an exact copy? Because if they do the same thing I do I would never meet them in person. They would travel in the same direction, at the same speed, and the same distance as me. I would never catch them because by the time I reach their planet their already be at another copy's planet.

One mistake though; if there are 10-80 particles in the universe, then there is no way that filling up the universe with sand would be 10-90 grains of sand. It must be wayyyy less since all particles in all those grains of sand are already within the number 10-80 particles in the universe.

And considering the massive scale of those numbers, they all just relate/or are compared to the observable universe. For all we know, it could just aswell go on infinitely. Meaning, somewhere out there in the vast universe, there is an infinite arrangements of atoms of you, doing you.

I disagree. I mean, as hypothetical as it is to assume a googolplex meter universe, why would you assume the same types of particles as in this universe? I would think particles would start taking taking diffgerent properties after a googolplex centimetres or so.

I don't think that if the universe was that big then there would be an exact copy of me as being from a different place then it would have different memories and hopes, fears and dreams. It may look the same, I could accept that though still different.

The doppleganger hypothesis is intriguing, but impossible. The no cloning theorem makes it so. It's actually impossible to have an exact clone, down to the subatomic particle, identical as something. However something very, very similar is possible.

That's assuming there isn't an arrangement of atoms that is favored over the others. There might be only one you but then an army of Charlie Sheins repeating over and over because for Whatever reason he was more energetically stable.
