<br>
Not without a serious dose of science fiction and a weakening or<br>
redefinition of the term "same experience".<br>
<br>
If by same experience we want same time, location, hardware and <br>
software state, B would have to be "turned into" A, but B could not be <br>
both A and B, so if B is turned back from A to B, I cannot see <br>
how it could be done. It almost feels more like a logic problem<br>
than a philosophy problem. ;)<br>
