Sabine visits the question from a pure physics point of view. Fascinating. The question was asked in various episodes of Star Trek and the various spinoffs. Me, personally, there is only one soul. When the body is disassembled by the transporter and then reassembled elsewhere, the soul disconnects, like a Near Death Experience, and then reconnects when the body is reassembled. Our souls exist in a place where time and space are meaningless with one purpose which is to reside in one receptacle, disconnects occur and reconnects are almost immediate. The ones that don’t reconnect, are called death.

Death and the soul are slippery subjects. When you die, the soul leaves the body, right? That's the general belief. But what if you die on the operating table for five minutes, then are brought back to life? Does the soul leave, then zip back into the body? So what if you fall through the ice of a winter lake and are not pulled out for 20 minutes? Are you dead? You aren't breathing, you aren't moving, your heart isn't beating, for 20 minutes. But they rush you to a medical center and revive you. Were you dead? Are you Lazarus? Did Jesus bring you back, or were you never really gone, and if the latter, how long do you hang around in your "dead" body when you die of other causes? Is your soul still in the body when the put you in the grave, or into the cremation chamber? Did Jesus actually die on the cross? Was he dead when he lay in the tomb? Or was his soul just hanging around in his body, waiting for him to come back to life? What is dead, if you can be cold with no heartbeat for over 20 minutes, yet be revived like a frog frozen into the ice for the winter, that revives when spring comes and the ice melts?

I like the pendulum of your thoughts. You’re engaging the idea of the soul. Everything after that was kind of hysterical. You went wild with your thoughts. Dial it back, pick a thought and let’s discuss it. Try not to shotgun your thoughts all at once, we’re human too.
