So like the universe is expanding and shit in every direction. Eventually the universe will hit its maximum point of expanse and start shrinking in every direction until it has shrunk down to its point of maximum density. Then boom a big bang and the universe starts again. We’ll be back eventually. Maybe not in this universe or the next but eventually over the course of forever we’ll be back.

But would a rearrangement of our atoms into identical beings be the same person as us? Maybe it would be just different consciousnesses having the same experiences, and we would never be back.

i think the theory is that at some point it would be exactly the same
but i think this is not like backed up by anything really, and mostly a thought experiment.
