A thought exercise about slowly replacing parts on a ship with identical parts. The question is, once every part has been replaced, is it still the same ship?
there's a second part where another ship is built using all the scrapped parts of the original one, then comes the question of which one should count as the ship?
What's the ship of theseus?

And this is why Reggie Broccoli was right about transporters. Not to mention Thomas Riker.
Thanks for the info. Very relevant exercise
