You're welcome, and if he ever ever exists, he definitely won't be you.

That may help him...but it gives me anxiety! It would give comfort to know I'm a life form breathing in an out of existence for all eternity.

Calm down. You’re giving the next guy anxiety.

I wouldn't take comfort in that.

What if Deja Vu are mental blips from past timelines, which could be an indicator that we are destined to go through this again and again forever? Yes, us. Directly us.

Deja vu is just your brain trying to remember something - failing - and then just making it seem familiar anyways to cover its own ass.

Dont trust that guy.

I’ve heard Deja Vu is simply different parts of the brain receiving or assessing information at slightly different times (I cant remember but something like fractions of a second apart) which tricks you into thinking you’ve experienced something before — because technically you did a VERY brief time ago

I’m ok with this. I kind of like it, actually.

You die each night and a clone is filled with your memories each morning.

Given how fast cells renew, that's not far from the truth.

Alternatively, from this point onward just do things to have an awesome life. If it repeats then, even though you had a bad time up til now, at least you know future you will be worth repeating.

It's the same thing I always heard from people in dangerous jobs. If it happens, you'll never know. I got anxiety too, and it's one of the things that'll trigger it. I'm the opposite because I hate microbiology. It's out of your control and do what you're doing and enjoy life. It doesn't even need to be a bounce. An asteroid could smack us any second and we wouldn't even register it, just like an amoeba could shut our brain down. Live your life and don't worry about it! Do what you're doing and enjoy the ride my dude! (PS none of what I described is going to happen because in layman's terms, space stuff takes a long time to do anything. You're just having an anxiety attack probably and you're good. Just breathe.)

Keep believing that budy. Joking.

It is someone with the same exact experience and memories as you. That is if the big bounce theory is true.

We run into a similar problem with cloning, if you clone yourself is that clone is you, an extension of you or someone else altogether. At least in the case of cloning, we know that over time that clone would be different from you as time passes.

In the case of a big bounce theory, if we assume that the universe is deterministic, we get the same exact outcome every time.
